    Hi Sharon. We are in Southern CA. so it may be easier to deal with us because of locality. I'm sure that we can help you. Please call us on Monday and we will see what we can do. It shouldn't be a problem. Thanks, Steve

    This sounds like a tension problem to me. We will have to re-calibrate both tensions so we can balance them. JLSleather, silverwinget, and ABC3 all have good suggestions as well. If you choose to, you can call me and we will try to get your tensions balanced. Steve

    Sometimes there may be a burr on the point of the shuttle hook. When the thread passes over the burr, it could get caught just for a breif moment causing the thread to pop off of the hook. This could be the sound you are hearing. Take the shuttle hook out of the machine and inspect the point by running your thumb, or finger nail over the point. If you feel a burr or see a burr, use a fiber wheel or a buffing wheel to remove the burr. You can also run the machine with no thread to see if it makes that noise, if not, it is probably the burr, or just the normal noise that the machine makes when the thread releases off of the hook.

    Great info (as always) Wiz! I think you meant a 135 X 17 not 15. Steve

    I agree, most holster makers (including John Bianchi) use 277 on top and bottom. This is what John uses on his COBRA Class 4. Steve
  11. Cobra Steve
    I agree. Steve

    Eddie, try a #24/180 with 207 top and bottom. This is just one combination. I am sure that there are others, but I would try this first. Remember, it is all relative. The thicker the leather, the heavier the thread and needle. The same goes for lighter weight leather, lighter thread and smaller needle. Steve

    Have you seen our new COBRA Class 14 Leather Splitter? Even though it is over your budget, you should still check it out. It is impressive. Thanks, Steve
  15. Cobra Steve
    I suggest talking to all of the dealers with banner ads on top of the page and get as much info as you can before you make your decision. Steve

    Thanks everyone!

    Thanks, Michelle!

    Hello. The needle and both presser feet should touch the plate/feed dog at the same time when the needle is on the down stroke. In your first picture, it shows an allen screw that holds the linkage to the presser feet. This screw is on the back of the machine on the far right of the machine. Loosen that screw and one of the feet should drop or can be pulled down to the plate/feed dog. This is a good starting point. Steve

    I would consider the COBRA Class 4, the Cowboy 4500, or the Techsew 5100. These are your best options in my opinion, but you should call these dealers and talk with them. Steve

    The bobbin should turn counter clockwise on all 441 type machines. Steve
