Kd Custom Report post Posted April 18, 2017 Finally got to the point I needed an industrial sewing machine and went with the Cowboy 3200. Still have some fine-tuning to do for me but I love how it works and it sure beats spending an hour of labor on stitching!! You can see the lines on top of the material is there an adjustment for that or is that just normal? I made these three collars for Second Chance Farms. An amazing foundation that takes in disabled animals and helps them enjoy life. Thanks for looking! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted April 18, 2017 I can't see the lines in the photos, so assume you are talking about the marks left by the presser feet. You may be able to reduce the pressure of both the inner and outer feet, to help reduce the amount of marking. Also make sure the leather is dry. Wet will of course mark easier. You can work out the presser feet marks with a spoon, or by tapping with a flat faced hammer. If you reduce the pressure on the presser feet too much, the leather will lift with the needle, and you will lose the loop and have skipped stitches. There are lots of related posts in the sewing machine area. Oh! Great collars. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kd Custom Report post Posted April 19, 2017 Yes those are the lines I was referring to, I stitched after stain was applied and everything was dry. I did not try to compress the leather in any way before stitching I think your right that is probably the key to working those out, and thank you!
