I have a Cowboy Outlaw coming which includes some 277 thread.  I've repeated seen the suggestion to use 207 thread on the bobbin.  Is that a good option for this machine for sewing holsters, belts and sheaths, or should I just move forward with just the 277?

I have tried using different size threads

and I find it is a total pita

sometimes you have to flip your work over and sew from the back to the front

having different threads causes you to stop and switch bobbin and retread machiner

I like 277 over and 207 under.  I've tried other combinations, but I like this one.  Yes, for holsters, belts, sheaths.

Jeff, thank you for that feedback.  I guess I've been leaning towards the concept of not cutting the surface layer, although what little I've done was with a groover. Do you recall the make of the creasers you've preferred?

Doesn't matter, long as it's smooth faced.  I've seen some that were plated. Sounds nice, anti-corrosion and all that. Until the plating chips, and then you're just scarring everything you try to crease.
