A friend just asked me what could be wrong. He's trying to upholster a chair with cowhide and leather. He's using a basic Singer machine, a leather needle and upholstery thread. I've never sewn with any of this so I don't have much advice. He ran a seam totally by hand one stitch at a time and then all of a sudden the machine took off and did a fine job for a bit. Then the bobbin thread went haywire, he adjusted it and then it was fine for a while again. After that it went haywire again. All I could recommend was that he clean the bobbin case, check the bobbin to make sure it was installed correctly, rethread and maybe rewind the bobbin. Don't know what else to tell him. Any ideas??? Thanks, Lennie |

It may just be too much for the machine. I'd e-mail Tom or Bill and see what they have to say. I believe that Tome sells Singer so he might have some good advice for you. You might also post this as a second post in the machine section. He might be more likely to see it there.
