Members howlback Posted February 5, 2018 Members Report Posted February 5, 2018 I have an Atlas Levy 3341 (Cobra Class 26). The walking foot is leaving impressions in the leather and I was wondering if there is an adjustment I could make to keep that from happening. Quote
Members Fire88 Posted February 5, 2018 Members Report Posted February 5, 2018 You could adjust the top foot pressure or rub your stitch line with a bone folder or tap it with a flat faced hammer. Quote
Members tomsmith85717 Posted February 5, 2018 Members Report Posted February 5, 2018 Or better yet do both. Quote
Members tomsmith85717 Posted February 5, 2018 Members Report Posted February 5, 2018 BAck off the big open tubular thing on the top of the head ... I am not going to take a picture. I am sure you can figure it out. Or call cobra steve. Quote
Members updn Posted February 5, 2018 Members Report Posted February 5, 2018 My teacher told me to put a business card under the walking foot and then there are no marks....found this quite clever Quote

I use a short strip of 4 oz cowhide, but same idea Quote

But I was never too sure how much pressure was on the spring and how far I could adjust it without it " getting some air time" as someone on here put it when I inquired out it. But I now have it juuuust right , ........and haven't touched it since . HS Edited February 9, 2018 by Handstitched Quote
