Members eblanche Posted May 26 Members Report Posted May 26 Hi Piko, I buy all my needles from https://www.thethreadexchange.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=ndl-135X16 the thread exchange. I buy my thread from wawak... I have attached an image of the supplied feed dogs which came with my 246 from a previous photo. I can get you a closeup with dimensions tomorrow or the following day, but the P/N is visible in the second picture (please excuse the mess, converting from 'standard' to horizontal feed, for binding). 21135009 appears to be the model the CKPSMS version you purchased is based off of from the description.

RockyAussie Posted May 27 Report Posted May 27 I doubt the feed dog is your problem here. When you say your thread size is a little larger than V92 (metric 30) it looks more like the thread is a V69 (metric 40). A picture showing the label on the thread cone might help. If I am wrong here then I can only say that on soft leathers the holes will close up nicely and stiffer firmer leather the holes will stay open more. You could also be running to tight a tension top and bottom which makes the holes more noticeable. Try loosening your bobbin tension about 1/4 turn and your top 1 to 2 turns until they look balanced and see how that looks. Note that that is a nasty looking leather your using I think.
