BGleathers Report post Posted December 8, 2016 I have a pfaff 145 walking foot. When I try stitching my leather project my stitches seem to be slanted. I'm useing a #21 needle with 69 bonded pylester thread. I have tried different size thread same results. Any help would be appreciated. This is getting frustrating. Thanks .
