Thinking out loud 

I don't know if you read comments from a video this old, but you are the Best teacher. I have watched loads of videos, but nobody else explained how to put the needle exactly where I want it. Thank you a million times. I have learned more from you in a couple of months and I am incredibly grateful. I will keep watching if you keep putting them out. And I always look for opportunities to Pay It Forward!

I learned a lot especially how your holding leather and you position your guide across from foot instead of in front. I was taught by an upholsterer to always keep my hands back to guide. I now realize why the leather moves side to side. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent video. Training us to think methodically in advance. Well done and much appreciated.

Thanks. As a hobby leather crafter, I don't sew every day so it's great to have videos like this to refer to.

Thank you Al, I always gain from your videos.

Thank you for doing this step by step video. It is very helpful.

Sweet! A Cobra tutorial and production tutorial in one. One of Al's best qualities is his vocabulary. I've never heard him use the word "thingy". Thank you for your generosity.

Awesome video dude. I just bought a class 26 today, should have it in a couple weeks. Thanks for all the helpful videos.

I friggin love these videos!!!!

HI Al! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with lowly beginners like me. Giving your thoughts in this way sheds light onto what seems to be such an arduous learning experience. Instead of fighting my way through the process I can simply follow your lead. Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge and experience. Also, I'm using a Cobra class 26 sewing machine. Can my machine sew thick projects like the guitar belt strip in this video. Please let me know. God Bless you

What type of leather do you prefer to use. You mentioned marks not being a concern for you due to the pressure of the presser foot. Thank you for the video.

What is the size of your needle? Tks

I’m a old goat 73 just getting into leather work. Could you tell me type of leather and where to purchase for making good quality belts. I don’t won’t to be known as the person who makes inferior belts. I know you don’t use veg tan the only other choice locally is Water Buffalo. I live in Oklahoma and will pick up my class 4 with EPS next Tuesday. Also do you use the same size bobbin thread as top thread? I appreciate the knowledge you share with us. Pay it forward.
