Hi RunningRoan, I've seen people use a thread burner to melt the thread just inside the hole. It looked good to me. Keep in mind, that if you use the back tack technique that I told you about,( turn the hand wheel towards you until the needle bottoms out, then continue to turn the hand wheel towards you until the needle comes up 1/4 of an inch, then put the reverse lever all the way up, then do your back tack for 3 or 4 stitches. The machine will sew in the same holes that you sewed forward in for a perfect, uniform back tack), then use the thread burner after you trimmed your threads. Steve

Hi WARHORSE, I agree with Wizcrafts. Get as much info as possible, then you can make your decision. Thanks, Steve. Thanks for the consideration, Wizcrafts.

Hi Fred, glad you're here. Are you going to Wickenburg? Come by and see me if you are. Thanks, Steve

Hi Todd, welcome to LW! Glad you found us. Steve

Hey Harvey, it's King Crown Custom Leather. Steve

Hi everyone, I will be there, come by and see me. I would like to meet those of you that I have not met yet. It's a great town, I am sure you will have a very good time! Thanks, Steve

Welcome azcowboy! Glad you're here. Steve

Hi Mike, yes Ryano has a good point, but the COBRA Class 4 is more versatile and it makes a heck of a nice stitch. You can't go wrong with either one. Steve

Yes, I agree, Pete is very respected and an all around good guy! He is also the proud new owner of the COBRA Class 4 Dream Machine!! Thanks, Pete. Steve

Hi guys, normally, if the tension is inconsistent, it is caused by the bobbin tension. Tighten the bobbin tension 1/4 of a turn, (never more than a 1/4 turn, no matter what), which will pull the top thread to the bottom of the leather, then tighten the top tension one full turn. If your machine has two tension assemblies, then tighten both tensions one full turn. If this does not work, call me at 1-866-962-9880 and I will go over a few other things with you. Steve P.S. Elliot, a 10 pound hammer won't work as well as dropping it out of a third story window!

Peter, there are a few companies that have what you need, including myself. Call the dealers and get as much info as you can so you can make the right decision. Thanks, Steve

Hi terrahyd, I couldn't have said it better. Nice post Wizcrafts! Steve

Hi Wapak, glad you found LW! We are happy that you are here. Steve

Storm, thanks for sharing your talent! Steve

Hey Ray, are you sure you want to see my ugly mug for over an hour?!?! Steve

Hi Al, I will ship one to the moon if you lived there! The COBRA Class 4 will sew from 6 oz. to 7/8 inch whatever. Yes it will sew uphill as well. They are available in 220V. I think you will need 2 COBRA Class 4's if you want to replace both of them. (Ha Ha) Thanks, Steve Hi Heather, nice to hear from you and thanks for the plug. Call me if you need me. Steve

Hey Storm, how about all of them on one piece of leather. A tribute to the "World's Greatest Rock n' Roll Band" It would sell fast! Steve

Storm, you are a man after my own heart!! Thanks for bringing my idol to our world of leather! Steve

Hi Cheryl, loosen the top tensions (both) 1/2 turn each until the stitch is correct. Turn the large round adjusting screw counter clock wise 1 full turn to take some pressure of of the foot. If you still have a problem, please call me at 1-866-962-9880 and I will walk you through it. Thanks, Steve

Merry Christmas, and Seasons Greetings to all, and I hope we all have a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year! Steve

Welcome Phil, glad you are here. Steve

Hey Storm, great! I agree with bustedlifter, where's Keith. Steve

Hi Tucker, they both take the same needle. Steve
