Members Constabulary Posted 3 hours ago Members Report Posted 3 hours ago (edited) I have a 212 (112 predecessor) and I never use left twist thread (IMO that only is necessary for decorative reasons on visible seams - if wanted) and I would not recommend any bonded thread at all. I mainly sew heavy canvas. Polyester or Poly-Cotton thread is what IMO works best. Look for Aman SERAFIL for leather or for Jeans look for Aman RASANT or SABA ( I prefer RASANT). Look for fine burs or worn in groves in your thread path and the hook and polish them. Also check the needle hook distance and needle height. The needle could be a tad to high.
