Members ryanww Posted January 14, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks to everyone for the help! The two most effective suggestions were to use a larger needle and to try thicker leather. Moving to a size #23 needle made a huge improvement. Now making top tension adjustments actually makes a noticable change in the stitch. I think I have a good handle on things now but I'm sure I'll have a million questions as I continue to learn. Thanks again! Quote
