    Idk if a narrow feed dog & plate could help eliminate some of your stitching issues. As mentioned the diamond point or LR point needles, don't seem to pull the stitches down as deep as a S point needle.

    Nice work. They look great! Looks like you are on the way to a great adventure. Btw: Welcome to the group.

    This is my ugly art work off my phone. But add the height you want to the top of the pattern. Hopefully you can see/understand what I mean.

    Why can't you add the heighth on the top of the hat pattern like you want. Then just modify the top part of the pattern/cap. It will be a bit smaller at the top, but keep the headband size unchanged.

    I think you are going to get puckering, regardless of the needles you use. You can try stepping down a needle size. What needle size & point style of needle are you using? You can massage the puckering with a hammer or bone slicker or both.

    Also don't loose the springs on the 2 screws.

    Lacing chisel looks soo much better I think personally.

    Also another thing I forgot to mention, sometimes it's the leather quality/brand that can have uneven dying/splotchiness. I had a really nice looking imported veg-tan that did that to me in 1 part of the side I bought.

    How long has the bottom example been drying? If I dip using fiebings pro dye, it takes a good 12hours, sometimes more to fully dry out. I've had no luck using a dauber. I dip dye if I can.

    Nice, looks great! I got a similar project like that, if I ever get to it.

    I bought a few round end punches & a few oblong punches. & a 1¾ English point punch. Yes I could do the same as you mentioned, but the punches really helped with speeding up my productivity. I also think they help with a better looking project in the end.

    Look at a consew 206rb5 sewing machine see if it's close. I know somebody here will probably know what it is. Lmao you might wait for them to reply. Cause I am a newbie to machines.

    Why ain't stitching a option?

    Nice work! It looks great. I really like the blue thread as well. Simple & Classy!

    Anvil we need a picture.

    No problem. I thought maybe that might have been affecting your start up speeds. So figured I would mention it. Lol I am a newbie rookie when it comes to machine sewing & machine mechanics. Thanks to all the great professionals on here that help out.

    Tom I got the newer servo motor setup on my Cobra class 26. It is plenty slow at start up. Is there a reason your servo motor is loose & missing a nut & washer. Here is how mine is. Apparently you have yours took apart at the moment.

    Nice work!

    I haven't used either of these clickers. But myself would want the heavier Tandy unit. Aluminum & steel don't play together good in a long term situation as in the dream factory unit. I think the extra weight of the Tandy would also help in clicking out your pattern/piece.

    Nice work. It looks great. Really like your edge treatment with the lacing.
  23. DieselTech
    Looks great. Nice craftsmanship.
  24. DieselTech
    Nice work. Looks beautiful.

    Lmao you did not by chance wash them with lemon dish soap. Ha just kidding! Maybe the original owners used lemon pledge on them.
