In this video I show you how to install the Stirrup Plate on a Cobra Class 4 Sewing Machine from Leather Machine Co. The process in this video can also be used for other sewing machines that have a similar stirrup plate option. This is also the process for installing the Holster Plate as well.
If you have been putting off trying out your stirrup plate on your Cobra machine, then I hope this video helps with any fears about the difficulty in changing this plate out. Changing the plate out isn't difficult and is worth the steps so that you can easily sew your stirrups or holsters using these plates.
If you haven't watched our video on how I cover my stirrups, then you can watch that video here:
• How To Cover Stirrups
I also mention in the video a use that I found for the holster plate. This plate makes sewing the gusset on our shave kits much easier. You can watch our video on how I make my shave kits here:

Thanks so much for watching and I hope you found this video helpful. If you have particular questions concerning your Cobra machine, then be sure and give Maker's Leather or Leather Machine Co. a shout. They are both very helpful with any help you may need with these machines. And if you are thinking of getting a sewing machine then I would highly recommend checking out all the machines in the Cobra Lineup! Here are links to both:

Thanks Don That bottom feed dog adjustment was worth the price of admission!

@garyjones215 5 лет назад

Hi Don, thanks for the tutorial. My Cowboy 3200 (similar looking machine) was marking the underside of my project until i learned how to lower the dogs. Your videos are always helpful for us newbees. Gary

I’ve been needing this video. I have purposely steered clear of my stirrup plate. Love your videos Don, please keep them coming. Even if it’s just time lapse video around the shop.

I have the ferco pro bull an love it I use the holster plate an have never removed my feed dog it still sews with it on

@ClaridgeLeather 3 года назад

That’s awesome, Don. I’ve been staring at my handful of presser feet I never use and trying to imagine how they may be used to improve the work I do. I think certain bag gussets will go easier with this set up. Thanks for the detailed demo!

I guess it's kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released series online ?

@aryanrodrigo7574 3 года назад

Well done Don, I use mine for everything but saddles and its been a great machine for the last 6 ish years. If you bolt yours down you'll wonder why you didnt do it sooner. Cheers..

@DonGonzalesMaker 5 лет назад

How did u bolt urs down? Mine does wiggle a bit!

@Patrolndog 5 лет назад

I have learned quite a bit from your vidoes. Thank you. I have stepped up the quality of my work. On that note I was wondering how thin of leather you use your machine for? I noticed you see every project with this machine.

@Dahna_ 2 года назад

Have you ever tried with the real stirrup plate yet or did you continue to use the holster plate?

@lancerussell666 5 лет назад

Thank been wanting to use that plate didnot under stand how thank again

@morrieoppenheim9438 5 лет назад

Don, I have a Juki Pro2000 and I'm not sure this is right but I never had to remove the feed dog. I mainly use the holster plate.

@DonGonzalesMaker 5 лет назад

That’s basically what my old machine is and it doesn’t have a bottom feed.

@haarnoz 3 года назад

That's the same for me. Using the holster plate, I don't take off the feed dog. I've got an Artisan Toro-4000

@MikeK-tw6fl 5 лет назад

Hi Don. Love the videos. Your work is superb. I have a sewing question, not machine related but hand sewing. When hand stitching, how do you determine what stitch punch pattern to choose. Ex. 5 stitch per inch, 6 stitch per inch etc. Thank you.

@DonGonzalesMaker 5 лет назад

Really just depends on your preference... I prefer a tight stitch but on real thick projects you may have to lengthen the stitch length

@MikeK-tw6fl 5 лет назад

Thanks Don!

@hdfiiom Год назад

When handstiching, you choose distance after thickness thread that you want to use. I use 4 stitch /inch with 1 mm thread. 6 stitch/inch with 0.8mm thread.

@omgleatherworks3253 3 года назад

Do you use the right toe foot because of the plate style requiring it or just because of sewing stirrups? I guess I'm saying can you use the holster plate with the left toe successfully?

@lostpenguinleather8470 5 лет назад

I thought the holster plate was the raised flat top, and the stirrup plate was the tall with a radius to help turn tight corners? I'll use the rounded/radius plate for sharp corners/radius on some of my bags on gussets when turning a tight corner. The raised flat plate obviously works well for the stirrups though.

@DonGonzalesMaker 5 лет назад

Ha ha! Yes sir, I was told I had them backwards:/. The flat top one was all I’ve ever known as a stirrup plate... never had the other one for other machine. Both work fine but I’m gonna try them in reverse! Thanks a bunch!

@lostpenguinleather8470 5 лет назад

Don Gonzales, I wasn’t trying to be a know-it-all. You’re doing awesome work and are a great contributor to this community and I thank you for that!! Keep it up!

@DonGonzalesMaker 5 лет назад

Ha ha! No worries brotha! I didn’t think that at all. Someone brought it to my attention last week and I laughed because I felt dumb having them confused for 10 years or better! Lol!

@patrickhennigan9689 2 года назад

Why does the bottom feed have to come off? It's still in sink with the needle and not rubbing on anything. What am I missing.

@TexHoss1 5 лет назад

Can the double toe pressure foot work ok if you don't have the right toe pressure foot?

@DonGonzalesMaker 5 лет назад

I would imagine so. Used that on my old machine

@chrism6034 5 лет назад

what size tread you like using?

@DonGonzalesMaker 5 лет назад

I use 207 on my Cobra and 92 on my singer

@TexHoss1 5 лет назад

You sure don't want to drop the bobbin. If you do it can bend the hook point on it. They are pretty expensive to replace for what they are. Don't loose those springs on those housing screws either. I saw your table top leaning against the wall. I like it for a lot of what I do but it sure makes it a pain to change out the bobbin. At least it is for me. Have you ever had a problem with the motor to continue running after taking your foot off the pedal? Mine does all the time & I have to reach under the machine & lift the arm of the motor to get it to shut off.

@4fuzzybear 5 лет назад

Eddie, If you have the newer type DC motor the should have a small return spring you can adjust for that, Also the motor has a "Hard stop" setting that may not be set on yours. I have this same machine and and as recall I had the same issue until I did some Ad?*%&justing... Hope this helps.

@TexHoss1 5 лет назад

@@4fuzzybear Well I fixed it yesterday by pulling the end plate off of the motor & adjusted the piece inside. I don't know what it is called but I loosened the set screw & adjusted that flimsy piece of paper thing a bit & it stopped the problem. I had already moved the spring around & it did nothing. But so far so good.

@DonGonzalesMaker 5 лет назад

I haven’t used that table top at all yet. I don’t have any issues with mine running after done... is there an adjustment on that arm maybe?

@TexHoss1 5 лет назад

@@DonGonzalesMaker I took that end plate off where the arm is & there was a set screw on the arm. I loosened the set screw & adjust a bit & it stopped my problem. There is like a piece of film paper on that arm in there & I just moved it a small amount. The not stopping problem is gone now. Don't know if that was the right thing to do but it stopped the problem. It does seem to run a bit faster now.
