Bad stitches on corners

[palvim]

Hello All,

Can anyone please point me in the right direction? I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong at the corners that the stitch gets bad. I've tried to stitch over the curve without lifting the presser foot as well as by lifting the presser foot after the stitch is slightly up from all the way down. Nothing seems to work.

Don't lift the presser foot so high that it releases the top tension disks.  It's not skipping stitches, so the needle is in a good location so the hook still grabs the loop.

Having made these comments, it appears that you are losing the bottom tension rather than the top tension as the knot isn't being pulled down into the leather.  Or, are you pulling the top thread up as you are completing the stitch?

@Wizcrafts should be along to help soon.

Looks to me like the needle is to big for the thread size what size needle and thread ?

I've tried to stitch without lifting the presser foot and it doesn't help. Not pulling top thread at all. I have needle positioning system. So at the curve I do one stitch at a time. This system takes the needle up a tiny bit and stops. I turn the leather a bit. Next stitch. And so on.

Needle thread size sound good did the screw in the bobbin case come loose or is it adjusted correctly

Also I think set the eps in the up setting to complete the stitch when I do corners like that I hand wheel the one or two stitches to get around the corner in some cases I use very small calipers to layout stitch length and coming to an end to divide up the space and have never had a problem.

I think the bobbin screw for adjusting tension is correct. As the tension on straight stitches is correct.

I think it is in the setting that completes the stitch. If I press the pedal once, it'll go all the way up, then all the way down and then tiny bit up (after the hook has picked up the bobbin thread). Was that what you meant?

I have found that my machine behaves differently when I "hand stitch" with it as opposed to powered stitching.  Generally the difference isn't as pronounced as what you are seeing but the the stitching is definitely affected by the speed at which the machine is running.  Do you have a speed reducer on your machine?  If you set up your machine to make nice stitches when it is running powered as slow as you can make it run, then there may be less difference between powered stitching and hand stitching.

Just my experience...
