Hello fellas, This question is for everyone based inside the EU borders. I keep having trouble finding quality at a fair price in bulk. Where do you buy your hardware? I know about pet hardware, they are cheap and delivery fast but many of they items are just not good enough. I am aware buckle guy and some other quality suppliers from the UK can easily send it here but i would like to skip the import duties. What do you know?

All right, it seems fixed. I feel ashamed though. It was ridiculously simple and i was starting to paranoid. Sometimes it's better to breathe, step back from your project and check leatherworker.net Thanks, appreciate the help.

Wow!! i feel so dummy, i haven't used the machine in just a week and look what happened. I should open a topic about how the frustration blind you to the simplest. Thanks guys

Needle are 100/16 thread 40 European standards. Quality thread, same i have been using since I got the machine in January. I already changed the needle....still happening

I am new with sewing machine. Sometimes it can be frustrating. I don't know why this is happening but i am going crazy. I guess it is something silly though. Any ideas?

I don't think the thread or needle are an issue, since they have been set up by the distributor, which is a well known dealer here in Belgium. Neither the leather, so far i have been practicing with scraps not thicker than 2.4mm (6oz) I believe I may have been treading incorrectly, forgetting about the last hole on top of the needle. At least this is what happened the last time. Can't be sure what happened before. The first one was set up properly by the distributor and still snap. Any ideas? I will go back sewing and keep you updated Thanks so much!

Hello everyone, This is my first post! What's happening is that i keep breaking needles on my sewing machine, Adler 69. I just got it few days ago. Right now i am learning machine sewing and till today everything was just fine. But in the last hour I've broken 5 needles and i can't figure it out why. I guess it must be plenty of reasons why a needle can break, could you tell me a few? Thanks!
