That is such a thin thread. I handsew like 100% of my work. but my wish is to do belt and dog leashes on the machine instead. I think Tex90 is the smallest the still looks good

That makes sense!. I can see they thread really is a limit when in the bobin case, but I was to afraid to file it down, since its hard to get a new one.

When I bought the needles and thread, is used this chart as reference. From Serafil, that is why I thought it should work

Thank you so much Kgg!, I had researched the needle to thread before, Just talked to some fellow danish leatherworkers, that said it was okay. they said the thread just needed to be inside the channel of the needle. But you have real references, so that is something I can actually use!. Would you recommend me buying new thread? or new needles. or both. And if yes, what sizes

Hey Shoepatcher!, thanks for your answer!, here is the front and backsides. When the knot gets at the bottom, and even though I just change the upper tension the slightests, the knots get on top. Even trying one several meters of leather, I cannot find the sweet spot. The leather is 3.5mm thickness. Needle is SCMETZ NM; 130 SIZE: 21 134 LR Thread is is Serafil 20 Tex 125 Bobbin tension: I do the drop test. where I drop the bobbin like a yoyo, and the thread gives a little.

No one have an idea how to fix this?

Help me!, im lost!. spendt 5 hours yesterday at this, and have not gotten any wiser!. Something is totally wrong with my tension. I can make it perfect, and then, it skips a few. I use Schmetz 134 LR size 21, and Serafil 20 Tex 135

Hi guys!; Had to take a break from the machine, Had to work a lot, and also had a vacation, im like 95% done I think. But this problem, I need your help again. Youtube video

Im getting closer :D its doing something now :D

Its like im going in circles a bit When I adjust one thing, and get it perfect, another seem to get out if sync Could someone coach me over video? I would gladly pay for you help <3

Wow that actually worked!! Thanks!!!

I startet centering the needle But this screw is so stock!, I will try using a screwdriver with hammer funktion later, maybe this can loosing it

Got it to work, thanks for your help :D

So I found a problem, not dont know how to fix it

Wow perfect Constabulary, this will help me so much!, I searched for hours online trying to find somebody with the same problem!! ;D

Ahh okay I get it :D I am using the 134-35 needles. I have the standard lift, about 8mm I think. im still getting the perfect adjustments ind. Right now, needle is perfect, also stroke. but presser foot is not moving, so I have to figure that one out later this week .:D

Hi Glenn, not sure what you mean, is the needle too long?

Not right now Im figuring out the timing still, and ordered the spring for thread tension, so cant test it. The needle strong is to long right now

Hehe I know. But for me, I cant wait. I like the used look. When I get a leather bag, I tend to ruff it up before use THANK YOU so much!! really took some time yes, but she looks perfect in my living room right now. Next up, is custom building a table from scratch. I have a big thick oak slab in the basement I want to use! When I start, I will post in the same thread, if someone else would find that interesting maybe I sell dog collars in my shop, all hand sewn, but some people want a full harness, and that takes forever by hand!, That's where Karen comes ind. She will now make dog harnesses, with quilt and bindings. I must say, special thanks for you all people, I met a lot of residents from my friends, and you guys/gals cheers me on, really helped! Without sewing Danishman and Jimi threads about this machine, I would not dare to start by myself

Im not gonna keep you waiting anymore :D Tada, Karen is all finished ! :D I still need help with all the nerdy stuff, timing ect. So if anybody want to chime in, please do :D

Just missing to find places for these screws now And figuring out how to time the machine. What position the bobbin basket should be in, when the needle is down, and ect.

Today I started rebuilding her. Couldn't resist paining in the numbers on the lever Have not encountered any problems yet, but I will bet they will come plenty in time! There is some play in the needle bar however. Don't know how to fix it, since its only fastened with the bobbin basket at the one end, end the cogwheel at the other. Any suggestions?

Sorry I dont work that fast :D im waiting for paint to fully cure before clear coat. then I can rebuild it :D

Hehe, thank you guys/gals! No experience in painting, other then on hobby basis, painting my sons toys ect. im one of those people, who really struggled in school, had such a hard time learning anything. Anything with my hands, I find really easy. The pro can see lots of problems in my paint job, most noticeable the "bumpy"paint. It called orange peel effect. Its hard not to get when painting at home. For me at least. Something to do with the right temperature, moisture ect. Got the decals on now, even the little "oil" here ones. That green just loves the gold colour huh? Now it only need the satin clear coat, and then I can reassemble it again.
