I know this is the wrong forum but I need a quick answer if possible.

I am using a Boss with 277 nylon thread and 794-200-S needles. I mostly do belts and holsters. How often should I change the needle. Is there a way to tell when it gets dull? Should I be looking for a change on how it comes out on the back side. Its not easy going through 3 layers of 8/9 so Im not sure I could tell if it gets a little harder pushing the needle through.

(and yes I know if it breaks change it.)

Thanks

Michael

I don't have a Boss but on my machine, has a motor but i can generally tell from the sound it makes going through the leather. Not sure how to explain it but it's different.

I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
