Tc1388 Report post Posted September 15, 2019 Hi all, Recently I purchased my first sewing machine ever, the cowboy cb3200. I’ve been having issues with the stitch blowing out the side of my projects, being the edge I make is about 1/8” from the sides. I went out and purchased the flat needle plate because I thought maybe the work was falling in the large gap of the original plate that came in the machine, to no avail. Are there any remedies? Maybe positioning? I’m going to have to rethink the process of my work if I can’t fix the issue which isn’t a big deal just I have 4 projects that are awaiting stitching, one of which I ruined because of the problem at hand. Currently I’m using 277 thread with a 180 needle, the holes were too big for personal preference. I might have to switch up to 200 for the thread recently breaking. Thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always leave leather oversized, sew, then trim to size. If this isn’t possible, I sew @3/16” in from the edge so there is enough support to prevent needle coming out at an angle.
