The Walking Foot A Game Changer for Thick Fabrics

Before you begin, it's vital to recognize the type of leather you're working with. Different leather weights and finishes will affect how you position your needle. For instance, thicker leathers, such as those used for belts or bags, require heavier-duty needles and a specific stitching technique to ensure durability. Conversely, thinner leathers, like lambskin, necessitate a more delicate approach to avoid perforation or tearing.

At its core, the single needle lockstitch machine operates using a straightforward mechanism. It consists of two threads—a top thread and a bottom thread, typically wound on a bobbin. The top thread is looped through a needle, while the bottom thread is fed from the bobbin, which resides underneath the sewing plate. When the needle pierces the fabric, it creates a loop that intertwines with the bottom thread. This action produces a tight, secure stitch, which is the hallmark of lockstitch technology.
