Kd Custom Report post Posted April 25, 2013 Well after trying to machine see my first wallet it became clear very quickly I had to do something about the leather being torn up by the feet. Is there anyone who has made a tutorial for filing them down so this doesn't happen? I have a singer heavy duty 4411 and it handles everything I throw at it but I can't have the feet ruining the finish and scared to mess up my machine! Thanks so much for any help!

Kd Custom Report post Posted April 26, 2013 It's defiantly the feet because the scratches are on the bottom. I'm just worried about ruining it by taking a file to it randomly :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtclod Report post Posted April 26, 2013 On the bottom of the leather ? If it's skining things up on the bottom it's the feed dog. I just looked at your machine online and it's not what you need to sew leather with. It may sew a little while but i don't think it will last long sewing billfolds.
