Thanks for the tip. So far my cobra class 4 is sewing back into the same holes in reverse. But I do like your tip/method a lot better, so I am going to adopt that method. Thanks.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I keep finding with 138 thread I need to increase bobbin tension & then back my tension disc's off to almost nothing, when switching from 277 to 138 thread. I'm not going lie, I am a newbie to these big sewing machines.

Guys & gals I recently got a cobra class 4 & curious how you fudge the stitch length at a 90° corner or at a border line. Say there is not enough length for 1 more stitch to be at the border/corner you are approaching. What is the right way to do this? Cause I'm a newbie with big ole sewing machine. Thanks. Heres a pic.

No my hope & thoughts was to buy another shuttle hook assembly from leather machine co. & set it up for 138 thread. This is if it dont need re-timed from 1 shuttle hook assembly to the next.

Thanks. I appreciate the tip on checking/testing the shuttle hook assembly.

Where are you located? Thanks.

I am not trying to step on the OP's thread, but @bruce johnson but do you have a pic of the Wayne Jueschke domer with the design it makes in the head? Also if a person was to buy his 1st set of rivet & burr setter's what size do you reccomend? #9 or #12? Thanks. I appreciate it.

Thanks. @Wizcrafts I was kinda figuring it was a hit & miss type thing. If a person was to install the spare shuttle hook assembly & the machine dont sew correctly, then there is probably a good chance it will be re-timed. If I install the spare shuttle hook assembly & it sews good, what would be things to do to make sure? Should I try forward stitching, then reverse & back stitch. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

I think Fiebings Mahogany with the Rose's colored red & green would also look nice.

Guys & gals I recently bought a new cobra class 4, I would like to have at least 1 spare shuttle hook assembly. In case something happens. My question is: Are the shuttle hook & assemblies plug & play so to speak? Can 1 just swap between shuttle hook assemblies, or does each & every shuttle hook assembly need timed everytime 1 is changed? Thanks. Any & all help will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the group. Bunch of great people here. Enjoy!

Nice work. It looks great! Bunch of sharp looking buckles.

Nice work. It looks great! Lol I bet that would get your attention.

They look good in my eye. Nice work!

This Stuff!

Are you looking for a waterproof leather? Hydro Repel leather is waterproof, but only comes in 2 colors. Black & chestnut.

Beautiful work. They look great! Love em all! Really like the folder.

Congrats on your new machine. I just got mine a week ago. I been sewing everything I can put my hands on. I'm a super newbie to sewing machines also & I bought the premium w/eps package. Plus all of HE&P extreme plates. I think both the cobra plates & HE&P plates will both have their uses. I have been using the #23 extreme plate & feed dog, & I'm beginning to love it. It would be my choice for inlay.

Looks Great! Nice work.

Well guys & gals I fixed my issue. I just bent the black release lever a bit & it is working as it should now. Lmao now Monday, I'll call leather machine & see what their fix is. Then I'll report back. Here is a pic of it fixed & releasing the thread tension between the tension disc's. Thanks everyone!

Thanks. I'll check it out. I havent been to their site in a while anywho.

Yeah see @TomE sees what I am talking about. That the thread release lever fits between the disc to open/ seperate them so it will release your thread to pull your project out of the machine. Thanks TomE for the better picture explaining & showing what I'm talking about.

Ok I may be wrong. Soo everybody dont scold me. I'm a small guy, soo I dont got a lot of butt to chew on. On the top tension disc I go thru the eye, then I snap the thread in between the 2 disc's, then it wraps around a 1/2 to 3/4 of way around & goes right back thru the thread guide eye. From that thread eye, the thread runs down to the 2nd set of tensioning disc's. I appreciate the help. Thanks.

Sorry Wizcrafts by my bad nomenclature. I still need to learn what all these parts are actually called. That way there is no confusion on any bodies part. Yes my cobra is working great & I found out what my issue was & fixed it. Thanks again for the help.
