howlback Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fire88 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
