Unavoidable Creasing?

Recommended Posts

I need help figuring out how to get my leather not to crease. I started off stitching everything by hand and didn't have this problem. Now that I'm using a sewing machine (Tippmann Boss), I have to turn the corners inside out to stitch them, which often leads to creases. Is there anything I can treat the leather with first before I stitch to prevent it from creasing? Or perhaps a way of stitching that would prevent this? Either that or maybe there is a way to remedy the problem after it occurs.

May need to adjust the pressure on the presser foot. Looks like it is holding the leather as you turn it.

Have you tried to call Tippman?

I asked tippmann before I bought the machine what I should use for this application. They just said i needed the center presser foot. I will try to decrease the presser foot tension, as it does seem to exacerbate the problem. However, the creasing tends to happen simply because I have to turn the leather inside-out, regardless of my stitching it or not.
