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 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

DarkGoku Posted February 5, 2018 Report Posted February 5, 2018 Thank you for this thread, I have been suffering the same issue with my cobra class 4 cant wait to try it Quote Proverbs 90:17 17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.

I use a short strip of 4 oz cowhide, but same idea Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

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 .
