Feed dog that comes with the machine. #2. Cowboy narrow feed dog. #3. Xtreme #25 feed dog. #4. Xtreme #23 feed dog. #5. Xtreme #20 feed dog. Quote
Michael Sheldon Posted January 13, 2023 Author Report Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Ah, not Cowboy technically. Neel's Saddlery Model 5. According to the manual, it will do anything from #69 to #554. Reality is that anything under #138 is a no-go, can't get the lower tension high enough. Even #138 is a bit dodgy. It was inexpensive, and I didn't understand enough at the time how big a deal it was that it was bottom-feed only. It sews #207 and #277 very nicely, but the feed dogs mar the bottom, and the high foot pressure can leave marks from compression and burnishing on some leather as well. It's great for utility work, probably excellent for nylon strapping, etc., but not good for leather if appearance matters.
