Thanks everyone! This has been more than helpful so far. It has been a work in progress, and I think I'm starting to get it dialed in. The practice stitches are definitely improving with each adjustment and cleaning/oiling that I do. Hoping to have it "finalized" this weekend. Then it will be on to turning my attention to the treadle and adjusting that back to a strictly foot and not motorized...

Thanks, I will try that adjustment order and see what happens!

I have done leatherwork by hand for a few years now, and was recently able to obtain my grandfathers S29k72 leather patcher from his old shoe store. It hasn’t been used for many years, and since he’s passed away I have very little assistance for my questions. My biggest question is the presser foot comes up extremely high, thus not moving the Material. I have already tried to adjust the settings on the back of the machine to no avail. I have attached a picture for reference as to how high the foot comes up at the top of the stitch. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
