  1. If it's very thin faux leather, you might be able to sew a couple of layers together. Domestic machines just aren't set up to do leather, Maybe tell us a little about what you want to do? Meanwhile, here's a thread all about what kinds of machine will effectively sew leather:
  2. This thread indicates your machine is a clone of the Pfaff 335. Maybe finding a manual for the 335 will give you some clues to look for? If oiling doesn't help, it does seem that something has moved on you.
  3. Some history might help the big dogs when they show up. Is this machine new to you and acting this way or have you had it and it was working fine? Also, it sounds like yo have 2 presser feet, one of which works and one that doesn't. If so, is there a difference in length between the 2?
  4. It might help if we knew what kind of leather you sew, how thick and thread thickness. Beyond garment leather, domestics get dicey quick. Actually, your question was if anyone here used their domestic for leather - not me. Plenty try but it'll be interesting to see if anyone chimes in with a yes.
  5. Some pictures might help. 2 inches over how many total inches? I don't think upholsters try to replicate directly from old pieces. Maybe stretch and distortion is why.
  6. Well, that is an embarrassment of riches. Looks like some fun projects on your horizon. Be sure to keep us up on the adventure!
  7. Wow. Thanks for even considering it!
  8. I don't like the sterile "new" look at all. Some times users can change their own template, which I went looking for before I knew what happened. Just too bright and white for me. But it's the content that matters and everyone is grateful for what must be a massive restore, We'll adapt. Thanks for all the hard work!
  9. Losing this site would be a terrible blow. Thanks for your dedication and work getting it back together.
