Members Texas Leatherworks Posted 3 hours ago Members Report Posted 3 hours ago When I put a piece of leather in the machine it will punch the holes perfectly. When I thread the machine up the needle stops at the top of the material and won't go through to start stitching. The fly wheel just spins. What adjustments do I need to do to correct this? The machine is well oiled and free from all thread and dirt..a very clean machine. Thanks Quote

Maybe a safety clutch problem or the hand wheel is loose on the arm shaft? If the belt is slipping, the solution is obvious ... Can you turn it through by hand when it stops?
