Searching the title came up with no matches. I have actually read most of that series of posts by Wizcrafts before, but then not been able to find it again. My question also applies to other subjects I want to find - I often get the answer "No Matches" even when I know the exact title of the post... a Google search with your topic keywords + leatherworker.net as the search term will get better results Google's search engine is better and adding +leatherworker.net restricts the results to this forum group Quote

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted October 1, 2018 Moderator Report Posted October 1, 2018 This is my "Sticky" topic about the type of sewing machine you need to sew leather. It stays put on the entry page to this section the "Leather Sewing Machines" section of the Leatherworker.net forum. All sticky topics remain above all standard topics that float up and down with activity or inactivity. Quote Posted IMHO, by Wiz My current crop of sewing machines: Cowboy CB4500, Singer 107w3, Singer 139w109, Singer 168G101, Singer 29k71, Singer 31-15, Singer 111w103, Singer 211G156, Adler 30-7 on power stand, Techsew 2700, Fortuna power skiver and a Pfaff 4 thread 2 needle serger.

Google really irritates me when it ignores words that I really want in the search string, so I think it could drop your "+leatherworker.net" parameter as well if it is not finding enough instances.

Members Trevor Baret Posted October 4, 2018 Members Report Posted October 4, 2018 Thank you all for the responses about finding the topic. Go to topic Listings is the simplest for the Pinned Topic - if you know it is pinned. It looks like the Google search is more effective than the search on the site. Thanks especially to Wizcrafts for all of the excellent information in the series of posts under the pinned topic that you link above. Incredibly informative for those new to leather sewing machines.
