Members LTC Posted May 23, 2014 Members Report Posted May 23, 2014 this is why i hand sew all my stuff. i've been able to minimize feed dog marks using a trick i came up with, but my hand stitching looks good so i prefer that to machine sewing, for leather anyway. Quote

Do you mind sharing with us how you reduce the marks? I called a different supplier today and the supplier suggest JUKI 1181 like the other did last week, and i told him that this machine leave marks and she told me to put paper at the bottom, but don't make sense to me..... cos if you put paper and remove it later, your stitch wont be tight.

dirtclod Posted May 23, 2014 Report Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Teddycrafts i have a 31/15 and a walking foot machine. I'll sew some stuff and post the pictures. I don't remember any marks from the feeddogs but i'll check. Edited May 24, 2014 by dirtclod Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
dirtclod Posted May 24, 2014 Report Posted May 24, 2014 Well i can't figure out how to post a picture any more sense things have changed. Tried phto bucket and it won't let me use it, tried to post picture off of a card and it won't let me. Anyway i sewed some soft chrome tan with the walking foot and the 31/15 with a roller foot and neither backside marked. I don't think i have any thin veg tan. What i think you should do is take some pieces of what ever you want to sew to the dealers and try the machine out and see hoe you like it. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
