Really Sloooow Learner

[KAYAK45]

ok! So I didn't listen to the good advice on this forum. I had to learn the hard way and spend way to much time ($) on machine, machine, and oh yea, another machine.

Today I broke down and called Ryan, as I read I should do, say two years ago, and a mile of that little rope stuff ago.

I AM GOOD at changing needles. Think I'll make a round knife, got enough metal

.

Started with a nice looking 31-15. Next came a 251-3. Whats one number off in sewing???

Then came a 111w or whatever. Still have. Works good for what it was made for, I guess.

Now I have ordered this new thing with the round part on the right that goes around and around. It has a sharp thing that goes up and down, and a rope holder to feed through the little round hole the up and down thing makes in leather.

Now maybe.....I can get down to making something useful, instead of 3/4" and 1" out of what started as 1 1/2" good leather. Well maybe?

I'll let you know how the new thingamajig works in about 10 days. My fingers are crossed. I, uh, managed to sew them that way!

Now I've heard it all.

Enjoy your new machine!
