Help me pick a colour for this purse
DieselTech replied to bluekush's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
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.

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.

DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
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! -

Cobra class 4 foot pedal: Thread Release
DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
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. -
Cobra class 4 foot pedal: Thread Release
DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
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. -
#25 narrow needle plate & feed dog install/adjustment
DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
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. -
Cobra class 4 foot pedal: Thread Release
DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Its routed right. It is just the time, the photo was taken it looks messed up/wrong. Thanks. I will double check it. But no my thread release arm is not going in between the 2 thread tensioning disc's to release the thread when the foot pedal is pressed down. Thanks. Yeah I know they will take care of the problem. I was curious what the solution to the problem would be addressed/fixed. -
Guys & gals I recently got a cobra class 4 & my foot pedal thread release is not working. When you step on the foot pedal release, it actually forces the disc's together instead of separating them. Making it almost impossible to pull your project out of the machine without breaking your thread. My question is: What is the best way to fix this? Bend the release arm in, to contact the center of the thread tension disc's? Or pull the thread tension dics mounting stud out & add a washer to the back side of the stud to space it out? Thanks. Any & all help will be appreciated.

#25 narrow needle plate & feed dog install/adjustment
DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Ok thanks. I appreciate your help. I watched 1 of your old vids on the inline presser feetfor the CB4500, or at least I think it was your video. I'll try & find a video on them adjustments. So the foot with the hole should never touch the feed dog & then the left presser foot should touch the needle plate, when the center foot is up. Thanks. -
Nice work! Looks great! A nice rainbow of colors in there. It looks Sharp.

#25 narrow needle plate & feed dog install/adjustment
DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
This is how it is sewing with that left presser foot not touching the needle plate. Here is a couple pics. The side with the makers mark is the feed dog needle plate side. Might need to lower my feed dog a touch more & back foot pressure off some. What's your guys thoughts? -
Thanks. I think alot of guys & gals use the suede for lining. 1 high end holster maker uses it, so it cant be that bad.
-
Nice work! They look great! Beautiful work. Do you line your scabbards & if so what do you use? Thanks.

#25 narrow needle plate & feed dog install/adjustment
DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Thanks @Wizcrafts . I changed to @Patrick1 #25 needle plate & feed dog. I also changed the presser feet to the narrow foot & left presser foot. Should my presser foot be off of the needle plate? Here is a pic. Is there another adjustment I need to make? Thanks. Any & all help will be appreciated.
