I was able to get about 200 single cap conchos for almost nothing. The problem is they did not have the caps. Does anoyone know if you can buy just the caps from somwhere? Thanks GUys/Gals

Thanks KGG that is great info. I appreciate it. Pinto

Hi FOlks, I have a couple of questions related to sewing leather. 1) Has nayone used Bonded Nylon N66 Thread? Id it better or worse then normal Bonded Nylon thread. 2) I read that if you want leather point needles you should use 135/6. My machine calls for 135/17. Are these the same needles? Are the interchangable? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Bob, I have to get some tread and needles and tthen try to get it threaded right. I can then see what is going on. The tread that was on the machine looks to be like upolstery thread (Pretty thin). Don't want to change to much until I have what I am actually going to use. May have some more questions after that.

I think part of my problem is the thread. What do you guys think is better Bonded polyester or Bonded Nylon for sheaths and gunbelts? I am thinking of going with #138 with a 140/22 or 180/24 needle.

Thanks Kgg, I will try to rethread and see how things go. Right now I am only try to sew a single layer of buckskin just to see if I can get the to happen. So only 2-3 oz. Pinto

I just reieved a brother LS2-B837 and I am trying to get it up and running. I have 2 questions. ! am I threading the machine properly? I am asking because the thread seems to be binding in the first thread tensioner, even with it screwed all the way out. I did polish the wheels and they are nice and shiney . Here are the pics of how I think it should be threaded. Question 2 is I want to use 138 bonded nylon with a 135X17 22/140 needle. Does that make sense? I am making knife sheaths, holster and gunbelts. Thanks for any advice. Pinto

Thanks Bob, Let me know what you find out. Pinto

Hi Guys, Does anyone have a Oscillating Rock Shaft for my 15-91 they may be willing to sell? It is the one with the fork on it. I believe the part number is 4304 I checked withToledo Inndustrial but it appears they do not have one. Is there anywhere you may suggest I can find one? Thanks in advance. Pinto

thanks guys. I make a variety of products. I have a machine for the thinner stuff like wallets , passport covers and such. I also do gun belts (2 layers of 7 oz) and holsters (3 layer of 6-7oz with the welt) which I have hand sewn until now. Of course I would like to look for something in the lower price range since I am just strating to thick of machine sewn products. I would like to see if this is going to do well before I spend big $$ I hope that is enough information

Thanks I appreciate the information Kgg

I am able to get a Singer 31-19 industrial Walking Foot Sewing Machine and was wondwering if this is a good enough machine for making gunbelts and holster? Anyone have anyider how thick of veg-tan leather you can sew with this machine. I can also get a Consew 255 RB single walking foot but it is more expensive. Which would be the better machine for what I want to do. Thanks in advance for your replys.
