The midsole was roughed, and the midsole was glued to the roughout side. The contact cement was tacky. I contacted Nicks Boots and they said "It's a rubber midsole, used in our water resistant models. It's about a quarter inch thick." Doing some research resulted in the most likely rubber type is neoprene, being able to adhere well to rubber and leather. 1/4" seems pretty thick to me so I'm going with 1/8".

Hey everyone, I made a pair of logger boosts based on Nick boots in Spokane Washington I used 12 to 14 ounce vegetable, tanned in natural color as the mid sole and I used barge contact cement to glue the sole to the rough out side of the midsole, but I am having adhesion problems and it’s starting to peel back. I vaguely remember in a video of Nick Boots saying that they use a piece of rubber that goes between the leather midsole and the vibram outsole. looking for any tips on how to get better adhesion! I used the vibram 100 Montagna 2 piece outsole in black

Hi, thank you for the information however I, in my inexperience don’t know all the terms you describe like the thread stub. I followed the video below on the procedure for threading the machine. In the video it instructs to feed the thread from the bobbin, through a slot then to be placed under the bobbin latch. If this is incorrect please let me know https://youtu.be/HV2NDZZq7MM

Hey there, I might not be using the correct terminology so pardon me. I recently bought a Cobra Class 26 (JUKI 341 Clone). I have an intermittent thread binding issue, notable by its popping/crackling noise when the bound thread is released and causing the thread to jump back and fray. I'm running size 138 thread with a 135/16 size 22 Schmetz needle. I've tried adjusting the timing, retarding, advancing and setting it spot on and this issue persists. I've also tried adjusting the bobbin and needle tension. This issue occurs all throughout the sewing process, not just in the starting phase. Any potential solutions would be helpful! I took a video and linked to it below
