What is in Fournette informative video? Great there’s companies that make machines other than for leather. They should be doing these kind of videos through a lot of machines in the trash because they just didn’t know how to use them I neither did anybody else. Great video guys love it.

@psycoticreaction9135 6 лет назад

That intro is HYSTERICAL!!!!!!!!!

@prettyrainbows9714 6 лет назад

Yes it is, here's another HYSTERICAL intro >> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z0H5D6oao98.html

Dummies my ass. It is very hard to deliver a clear, comprehensive explanation that helps thousands of people succeed with their machine. You guys are a blessing. Thank you.

@artemiasalina1860 6 лет назад

I came here from a car restoration video and I don't know a thing about sewing machines, but your explanations are so clear and simple that I feel like I could sit down, thread that machine from scratch, and sew leather! Great video, guys!

@SpringfieldLeather 6 лет назад

ArtemiaSalina Thanks so much!

@johnmarsh9456 5 лет назад

Best video (of any category) I’ve ever watched. No annoying loud music or story about your first hand stitcher back in 1975 blah blah blah. straight to the point and on point the whole time. I wish you gave lessons on doing videos as well! Great job guys.

@grahamrichards193 7 лет назад

Thanks you for making a video on using a sewing machine that is actually fun to watch! You two should consider starting a double act... :o)

@kelvinmarshall9272 3 года назад

My wife and I piked up a REX 26-188 for our home and auto projects,we enjoyed this video and a few others that we have watched .thank you

@majorhofner1314 4 года назад

I second what Fred said...a great explanation of the basic process of all sewing machines. I think it's particularly helpful for "all" to see, because it's all 4x bigger and more 'in your face' than machines, thread and substrate used by standard machines. Very entertaining and humorous as well. Thank you guys so much!

@richardcarver5356 3 года назад

Love the video !!! We don't work with leather but the sewing basics are universal truths.....and some frustrations.

@smu1129 5 лет назад

In the process of getting a harness stitcher. Totally different make and model. Yet I learned a metric ton of things to pay attention to. And the chemistry between those two is just great. That‘s edutainment right there.

@dmmdmm5435 5 лет назад

After 10 years of sewing experience and fumbling around with many wrong machines, I wish I could go back in time to educate the dummer beginner I was. I would tell the beginner me "just buy a consew 206rb-5" to learn on. That machine will do just about everything you need. V69 to v207 thread, 1/2 presser foot lift, built like a tank and higher capacity bobbins. When you get ambitious, consew 227r 2 up to 138 thread, 1/2 lift, cylinder arm for difficult awkward access work . Cowboy 3200 for up to v346 thread. I didn't know what i didn't know when i began. I wasted a lot of time, money and frustration on the wrong used machines. Sailrite ultrafeed, straight and zigzag will round out my collection

@MickKly-ih4it 4 года назад

I’ve fixed every kind of sewing machine you can think of , heavy duty to light textile, they can be temperamental for sure but your video was a good starting point for anyone unfamiliar with the basics, entertaining too 👍.

@kcstott 4 года назад

this single video introduced me to leather sewing machines, and SLC, I want to thank you guys for doing all that you do. Kevin and Rusty you have a customer for life and I highly recommend SLC to anyone that asks.

@SpringfieldLeather 4 года назад

Hi KC.... thanks for the kind words! take care, Kevin

@carloszayas3976 3 года назад

If I got, in my times, a couple teachers like you two, I will be a surgeon instead of a retired cook. I am glad I watch this. Sewing is the only thing that stop me between leather stuff, that I love, and retiring and doing what I like. If I learn enough in the other stuff (making belts, wallets etc.) I will get a machine for dummies. I swear. Hope you get to a lot of people. You two deserve it. Good luck people!

@dorothylimbrick9573 2 года назад

Love the ending. What a great job. Thanks. You two gave me excellent pointers, and kept me from retiring early and blaming Covid instead of my machines.

@howardtwardokus6785 4 года назад

Great video, very informative and it answered the question I had on a problem that I have been having for quite some time. Flagging, I had no idea, has been causing me problems quite some time. If for no other reason that little piece of information in your video has fixed a major problem for me. Thanks a bunch for the fix and for putting out a great video.

@cedricgist7614 3 года назад

I always avoided the "For Dummies" line of books in bookstores and libraries. Call it pride. However, I watched this long video all the way through because I want to learn industrial sewing: I work in a pillow factory, consider myself a laborer, and it was one of my goals to achieve in promoting myself from PSO5 to PSO6. So, thank you, Kevin and Rusty, for going over the basics. I'm beginning to work on a Singer model 111W150, the old black "straight sew-ers" as we call them. The manual I found is crumbly and missing some pages - so I just copied what I have and bound the double pages. Took me two weeks to sew a trash can liner out of raw fiber bale wrapper - kept unthreading. Probably too stingy with loose thread at start. Watched another industrial machine video last week - good instructor. Found you guys today and you added to my training - good instuctors. Thank you.

@philedwards2213 4 года назад

Great to watch you guys and I picked up some good tips. Well done. Look forward to more.

@bobcatt2294 4 года назад

@danielcunningham2394 2 года назад

The amount of patience that you would have to do your job, especially with a pothead, well somewhere in that shop there is a place in the back that is soundproof just in case a scream is needed. I am impressed with your video gents, having dealt with the public for so long.

Gentlemen, thank you. Though I rarely sew leather (my Juki needle feed handles the rare light leather in my workroom every few years) I have learned more about my machines in general from this video than I could have imagined. Thank you!

@piecetoyou8285 3 года назад

I own several industrial vintage machines here in UK England I am just a hobbyist but love the big machines for leather work ` after watching you guys the knowledge I have gained has been golden. This tutorial has explained so many issues I have encountered on my machines when sewing leather that I were scratching my head over, Every issue you two had gone over I have encountered, majority of the time its been my fault not the machines I know now, A Big Thank you for so much knowledge this will encourage me to get back on them and sew with confidence.

@SpringfieldLeather 3 года назад

Thanks so much!

@edwinleach4013 5 лет назад

I do not have a sewing machine and have drifted away from leather work to wood turning. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Makes me want to buy a machine and do leather work again. I always stitched by hand - what a pain. Thanks for sharing.

@chriss9175 6 лет назад

I have a regular straight stitch but this video has taught me a lot about sewing basics. I thought my machine was out of time but I was ending my stitch wrong, so thank you for this video.

THANK YOU for doing this! I got my Dad's Ferdco Pro 440 (Ugh I know!) without any manual. It would not sew, and after 2 hours of fiddling with it I found your video. I was able to thread it correctly, fix the bobbin winder, trouble shoot not stitching right (broken needle and thread inside bobbin) as well as getting some great tips for starting the stiches. You were a lifesaver because I was going to get rid of it! Now I will be able to do simple repairs on leather stuff. Well if I can do something about skipped stiches..... You guys ROCK!

@SpringfieldLeather 6 лет назад

@nicholasricchiuto8923 6 месяцев назад

I have watched this video three times now and took notes. I had years of industrial sewing experience (aka endless frustrations) and to hear other guys have had the same experiences was oddly reassuring. This is one of the most valuable informative videos I have ever seen. This video teaches the art of the setup, and the small details which seem trivial but are actually critical to a proper setup and successful run. Rusty, the bit about sewing in reverse to start, then going back over to avoid the bundle of knots has been an absolute revelation to me, the tidiness of the stitching is absolutely impeccable now. They teach setup, sewing technique, the importance of proper bobbin winding, threading, maintenance. Just a fabulous production gents. Springfield also sold me on a Cobra Class 26 so now I have a brand new industrial machine and I’m armed and dangerous with this incredible information. No doubt my productivity, quality and joy have increased and the opportunities for headaches decreased significantly after digesting the material. Thank you many times over, -Nick

You guys are hilarious. I have a personal peeve with winding a bobbin while I sew; when the bobbin is full and it clicks that lever off the noise scares the crap out of me. Haha. Great vid. Cleared up a lot of mechanical questions I always wondered about.

@betrisher55 8 лет назад

I could watch you blokes all day! I utterly cannot afford to buy a leather sewing machine, but after watching this video, I really, really want one. Why? Just so I can do all the crazy things Kevin and Rusty did in making the video. Oh and I s'pose I wouldn't mind sewing my leather as well. :D

Thanks for the video. I have a machine I bought from Kevin. Actually same model shown in video. I enjoyed it, and it brought home some good points. Was sewing today and had needle problems...the exact problem I had was brought up in video. Also, the video pointed out that there is actually a set of drawer sides under the table for the plastic drawer with tools, etc. For some reason I never used this.

I just bought a forty year old sewing machine which is totally mint condition and I am a sixty-two year old man. I did not know how to thread the thing and use it so I am looking at instruction videos and this one is the funniest I have watched. It is informative for sure, but more great entertainment. Kevin looks like he hates sewing machines and at times who does not? Rusty obviously knows a lot and loves sewing machines. Anyway it was so funny I watched the whole video and of course I could see Kevin and Rusty were trying to keep the video going as Kevin seemed to be really bored with it. Hope you both together can put out more vidoes of sewing endeavours as I know a hit when I see one. Thanks.

Excellent and good information shared. I have been sewing for some 30 years now - started with my trusty Juki still humming. Now I am using the Cobra for thicker leather. Two points: YES, you will have problems well said and thank you for confirming this! Cobra can be very challenging, especially at first. Problems? I had to return the head, as bobbin timing was way off. Second point, to start, yes I hold on to the thread but set the needle into the leather, much more controlled. (RAM Leatherwork).

@guschavez4354 6 лет назад

Excellent video! I just went from a Consew 118 (I know OLD) to a Yamaha 1451s I think and I’m wondering if it’s the right machine for me. I am mostly doing auto upholstery...light vinyl to heavy vinyl. I have done some leather and it handles it well , sometimes however when switching to vinyl the pressure is not right. Do I have to adjust pressure every time?

@SpringfieldLeather 6 лет назад

Hi, there! That machine should be fine for what you're doing with the auto upholstery. You may have to adjust the pressure each time, depending on the thickness and qualities of the materials. We like to run a test strip for each change in leather/material we do to make sure the pressure is right for the project! Also, if you're not already, using a round point needle will likely help with stitching vinyl projects. Thanks for your questions! Hope this helps. :)
