Hey Jackmitch whats the motor look like, or any buttons and digital light stuff.

Sure just sew, and skip the knob turning.

Knowing the motor style you have and if it is going to run the slow speed for some leather stuff really is needed.

Nice machine there, and have a good day.

Later

From what I understand you have been trying it and it is going to fast. I would like to see a picture or 2 of the underneath side. Seldom will a binding machine be set up with a reducer in standard form and that MAY be the way to go. I would suspect though if you can find the extra $ get yourself a set up like the one in the video you had in. They should allow you to 1 stitch then stop with the needle still in and believe me that lets me get away with some very complicated stitching at times. Please see pics below of two of the tote bag styles we make. Without the vari stop type of control I would not bother with any thing like this level of maneuvering. Without a reducer a trick that can help when learning is to put a block of wood under the speed pedal and if needed  a bit of foam attached to it as well. Bottom pulley on motor should be around 50mm (2")
