Members SolarLeatherMachines Posted March 3, 2017 Members Report Posted March 3, 2017 I think a previous poster mentioned that the S point allows the hole to close very quickly. That, combined with the black cowboy thread, which is very stiff, is probably causing the issue. If you can try a softer style of thread on the bottom, that might do it....and it wouldn't hurt to use the recommended needle. Quote Alexander

Biothanes website recommends a round point in either #25 or 26 Stop wasting your time. You are not going to get a good stitch in Biothane with an S point needle! Order a pack each of round point needles (System 7x3) in sizes 25 and 26 and be done with it.
