Loose Ends

Hi guys,

i just bought a Cobra from Steve and am learning how to use it.

Question about lose ends. when you start your stich and end it. I understand you back take a few stiches to end you row, but what do you do with the loose ends. I have been just cutting them off but I noticed you then have a little thread fuzz sticking up. what do you guys do?

Burn em...hold a Bic lighter to em...watch em burn.

Look up thread burners. They're cheap and easier to control than a lighter.

I pull them through to the back side of the holster, cut them to about 1/8" long, and burn them with a lighter. While they are molten, press them down so they are flat. This will keep them from pulling through to the front.

i heard of a saddle maker actually not backstitching and using a couple needles and saddle stitching it like you would by hand, you would still be left with the same issue but i wanted to tell everyone. 2 weeks til i get my cobra 4, I'm more excited for this than i have been for the past 10 christmas' lol

You're gonna be like a kid in a candy store when you get your machine and set it up.
