Red Cent Report post Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I just read something interesting on an old post here. Who removes the thread, uses the machine to make holes through the really thick stuff and then uses thread? I understand that I am curing the symptoms but not the disease. The post also discusses the needle bar being forced up by hard leather. And lowering the needle just a touch. It has been suggested and I lowered the needle. Didn't work.

Cascabel Report post Posted August 22, 2013 I did a project like that once. I ran it through the machine to get evenly spaced holes around the edge, and then laced it together using brass wire. It was a custom knife sheath. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Cent Report post Posted August 22, 2013 Pictures? I was thinking if one had a repeatable problem with skipped stitches and thick stuff one could do the hole punch and then stitch. All handsewers do it . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
