Or how do you use the search function so I can look this stuff up for myself. I put keywords in but it seems the system shows unrelated threads.

You might be able to loosen the foot pressure knob on the top left hand corner of the machine will help,these marks can also be rubbed out w/a spoon.Be careful you don't loosen it too much or the machine will start skipping stitches.

Yea that's probably not an adjustment I want to mess with. Thanks guys, back to practicing. That's probably the only way I'm going to figure this out.

You should not be afraid to adjust presser foot force. It's an easy one, helps minimize marks on veg tan leather, and you can't do much wrong. The presser foot needs to have enough downward pressure to hold the material in place and keep the material from lifting up with the needle as it ascends. If the material lifts up, the thread doesn't form a loop for the hook to catch and skips a stitch. There's nothing to go terribly wrong here.

The only real potential issue with that adjustment is if you loosen that screw way too much so it comes out of the threaded hole and the spring sends it flying across the room. Give it one turn at a time and hold on to it.

Ok I'm going to play with that. Thanks again.

Assuming you mean how to search for something on the forum, try using google with the site: parameter.

search-term [search-term] site:leatherworker.net

Thank you, yes that is what I meant. I was trying to use the search function at the top right on this forums main page. I'll try google as you said.
