Nope that's correct. That's the beauty of the "S" style threading of the needle. You can release your needle by just grabbing the short tail of the thread in the loop & give it a pull & it will release the needle. You can also put your needle back on if need be. Or adjust the length of 1 side of the thread. If 1 side gets longer or shorter for some reason.

Nice work! Let's see some stitches from that beast!
-
Welcome to the group. Bunch of great people's here. Enjoy.
-
Congrats on the new piece of machinery! Eye Candy!
-
Yeah everybody I've talked to, says they love their KSBlade chisels & pricking irons. Stupid priced thou for a full set. Lmao what ain't expensive anymore. Even McDonald's! Everybody I've spoke to, thinks the KSBlade chisels really refined their stitch work.
-
No I never put my calipers on the tandy chisels to measure them. They look closer to 6mm to me than 4mm. I might do that today when I get in the leather room.
-
This is what I think is funny. These are all budget diamond stitching chisels. All 4mm spacing or so they say on them. All saddle stitched with a right hand cast over & .55mm poly-braid thread. Look at how they all appear. The tandy 4mm stitching chisels have a huge spacing difference compared to the other 2 brands.

Looks great. Too high tech for me to do thou. Nice work.
-
Another thing that works for burnishing edges is a piece of denim blue Jean's material. Works good.
-
Nice job. Them look great. Nice work on the wet molding.
-
Looks good Frodo. I'll order the 830 camouflage stamp when I place another order thru Pro leather carvers. Keep up the good work!
-
Yeah I just decided I'm going to order a set of KS Blade v2 diamond pricking irons. Expensive, but I hear good things about them. The diamond is slimmer on them.
-
Well I'm glad it's working out for you. I was hoping you could understand my jibberish instructions. That's also why I figured, i best include a picture of it. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

This is what the "S" looks like on your needle. Then from there you just slide your thread over the eye of the needle. From the pointed end.
-
You just pull your thread thru your needle eye & leave a 4-5" tail of thread, then you pierce your thread with your needle. Then from there just pierce your thread again, & it will create a "S" on you needle. Then grasp the "S" & pull it over the eye over your needle. Lmao I hope you can understand my jibberish.

If you get a amazon machine, like a shoe patcher or whatever it's called. Is going to take a bunch of hand finishing work to get it up & sew consistently & smoothly. The cheapest options I can think of is. Weaver 303 Cowboy 797 Sailite leatherworker/fabricator.
-
I dont think this is obtainable at $200.
-
Looks great! Nice work.
-
Yeah I wish they made the rocky mountain thread in some larger diameters. I think the .55mm thread is in that 207-277 thread size.
-
Yeah this was labelled as a grade 1 whole hide. Lmao but I think someone stole his head. If that hole would not have been there I could of got 5 nice wallet backs. I think I'll make me a wallet back from its glory hole part of the hide & have a eye looking thru it. I'm not to mad, I bought the hide cheap enough & think i could double my money on it.
-
Lmao I thought when you buy a whole hide, you get a whole hide. They robbed his head & the piece that is there has a dang hole right smack in the middle. Like a bullet hole.
-
No problem with it knotting up while sewing. I'm not trying to sell you on it. But it is worth trying. Polyester is the name I was trying to remember. Lmao.
-
No it's a braided poly thread. Uv resistant, unaffected by moisture. It seems to be good stuff. Everything I sew is with poly thread. Sorry kinda absent minded temporarily.
-
Looks good! So does item that hold a box of shotgun shells? Thanks.
-
Thanks Frodo, next time I'm shopping for stamps I'll pick them up. Looking good there. Nice wallet.
