naomij Report post Posted April 19, 2015 Hi! I was wondering if many people had experience with this machine and could offer any tips just to get me started. I've only recently got hold of one and have been having a practice. I will be using it to primarily skive down edges on a garment weight chrome dyed leather (approx. 1.5mm thick), to reduce bulk on seams. The main issue I seem to be having is that the effort I use to pull the leather through the machine tends to stretch the edge slightly. Do I need to be skiving smaller amounts through at a time? Any help would be great! Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
