- So many folks are intimidated when they get their first machine. Don't be afraid, get in there and make it work!
The machine I am using in this video is a Cobra Class 18.
I just took delivery of a Weaver 303 last week, and while I'm able to use it, your tutorial has been extremely helpful and will ensure that I have a much more professional result with my machine sewing. Thank you!
I’ve had my 26 sitting in the corner of the garage for the past 6 months I’ve been afraid to use it. It’s been all set up. After watching this video I threw the belt I’ve been working on up there and I’ve successfully stitched it! WAY better than hand stitching. Thank you for this tutorial!
This seems to be a lot more common situation for leather crafters who took the plunge. I also recently got a cowboy 341(a clone of yours) and I didn't touch it for three months because of the fear of breaking something or the daunting task of learning a skill. This video has helped me immensely
Nice tutorial. You kept it interesting with the wee tricks of the trade.
Just got my machine yesterday, I should have watched this video first.
Your'e a good teacher. Thanks!
Man, so helpful! Why have I never thought to use my elbow for the backstitch?! … and the half stitch trick.. shoot!
Thanks for the tips! Especially the starting backstitch and the turn at the corner. Gonna save a lot of grief!!!
Awesome tips. I’ve struggled with machines that weren’t really leather machines trying to sew leather. I need a proper machine
Excellent , I have an old singer that I've had for a long time , thinking about upgrade to an leather machine co. Thanks again Aaron... reddoc custom leathers Chicago
Nicely done, Aaron. Thanks for the short, break it down Barney style, sewing tutorial.
So I just learned about the presser foot handle just now
Thanks for these videos. I thought I was the only one that felt that way. Full of great information that explains so many of th issues I was having.
Thank you for all of your great tips and videos. I’ve been blessed to finally get a class 26 and like you said it is intimidating. I am going to assemble it tomorrow using your assembly video.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you, Aaron! I have been avoiding the machine for the same reason, plus a couple others. First, I was waiting to refurb an old Singer I bought for $40 (replacing wires, grease, wicks, etc), and second, I don't think I can use very thick thread. I've been learning leather working for 1 year now and, unfortunately, am late to learn of your videos & store location - I just moved to Missouri from TX... I worked at Fort Cavazos (was Fort Hood). Either way, I am still learning a ton from your videos, so thank you! Especially ones that demystify parts of leather working, so it's not so intimidating. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! 🎉
Glad you've found us now... but man wouldn't it have been awesome if you had been able to stop in! Good luck on your journey and we're always here to help.
Thank you Aaron. Just learning my Cobra 26 and you answered the question of why i have such a mess at the end
Really good basic instruction. Wish I had this a couple years ago
This was so helpful to me. I really appreciate the great instruction in this video. Keep up the wonderful work!
The only thing I'm afraid of is tossing mine over the fence in a fit of rage. Should haver bought the 26
You ain’t kidding, I bought a Sailrite LS because I don’t have a dedicated shop yet, and I love it but I’ll be trading up as soon as I get the chance.
Thanks for this Aaron! Been staring at mine for a bit.
Sup Aaron great job showing the sewing machine in the video Aaron have a great Holiday and Christmas Aaron and Janie Sue and Marsha and doc and Maker's leather supply Merry Christmas!🎄
I love my Cobra Class 18. I have had for many years. I bought a skiver from Leather Machine since watching your video; however I am struggling with it. I know it’s me trying to figure out how to skive; but it’s frustrating me. I’m practicing.
Mines is sitting too fear
I don't fear my lsz-1 anymore, but I'm having trouble going around a curve corners. Any thoughts on how I can conquer going around the curve corners?
Make all of your turns while the needle is down in the leather.
