singer needs vocal lessons....
@@dw-dx9cf I guess you're the one to teach him.
Any advice on a rounded out screw on the gear underneath? Tried everything short of soldering.
Thanks again Al. Your videos have saved me more than once.
Love this band!! Brett is a great addition to this awesome band! Thanks for sharing🎸
Thanks Al! It is newer than eight years. The manual threw me off. Thanks so much for taking time to help!
Al… I have a newer class 26. Is the procedure for resetting the clutch the same as your video of 6 years ago? The manual they give is 11 pages and the pictures for the clutch are very hard for me to understand. Is there a more complete manual anywhere? I’ve googled a lot without success. Thanks for all the videos!
@@bobvance586 if your machine is newer than 8 years old it does not have a clutch in the system.
That’s handy ! Thanks !!
Great video!!
You are my hero. You aged helped me out so many times. Thank you
Really Great !
I can saddle stich by hand just fine, even figuring out spacing, but trying to use my Cobra Class 26 is humbling. I thought I could offer some items at a lower cost. Instead, I think I am going to have to go through a lot scrap leather before I get anything even remotely acceptable.
@@ToddJohnson15 you know the old saying practice makes perfect. I don't find that to be true. I think they should alter that statement to say perfect practice makes perfect. Set yourself some small goals and get them accomplished. This video that we're commenting on has a couple simple objectives. First load the materials in and hold the thread for at least three stitches when you start sewing. Second sew a straight line. Third, make a 90° turn. Fourth stitch a parallel line to the edge of the workpiece. Continue stitching parallel lines all the way to the center. As you do this you will develop some skills and get more accurate as you go. It's a small learning curve but it is not necessarily intuitive so, it requires practice. The more you do it the easier it gets.
The cobra 26 I have is not moving the material . Can you give me any ideas of how to fix this
@@jesusesquer440 Make sure the pressure feet are coming all the way down and landing on top of the workpiece. Sometimes the pressure foot lifting chain can get tangled and not allow the feet to come all the way down.
Thank you very much sir.
Can do this if you have the EPS with the Cobra 26?
Absolutely
No Jack Russell, no Great White.
If you say so, don't get me wrong I love Jack but this band kicks ass. Mark and Mike are as close to the original band as you can get and the rest of the members have been involved for decades. The only new member is Brett and he did a great job.

Bought a used machine, worked fine, got it home and it just grunts, so I’m trying to troubleshoot. Thanks for this video, at least I know it isn’t the timing. 😜
What do you mean by just grunts?
@@albaneforleather Actually, it just hums, motor doesn’t engage. I took off the bottom cover under the feed dog (wish I could send a photo) and it looks like the whole assembly has shifted left of center, but it isn’t loose.
@@pineappleprojects1624 give me a call 818-209-7945
Thanks Al Bane! This helped a lot! ❤
What is the size of your needle? Tks

i bought a similar machine in 2024 (typical 441) and your video is helping me a lot after 11 years. thank you so much.
Thanks Al! I learned a lot from this.
Thank you for explanation :) i have problem with thread skipping out of disk. What can i do? Thank you for helping me
This is why we load the thread in the guide through discs and back out through the guide again.
I did this and still is not ok
@@polonakadunc9864 it's possible that you have a bad cone of thread. Have you tried changing it to a different thread?
Yes i have
@@polonakadunc9864 are you sure that you are pushing the thread between the two discs until it reaches the center of the bolt? If you aren't seating the thread all the way into the center you won't be developing any tension and the bobbin will wind very loose
I like the roller guide because you can maintain your distance on an inside curve. I prefer the straight guide for straps. If you are worried about friction you can put Sctoch Magic tape on that surface. But I think you add more friction than you save by adding a finger and both thumbs to the right side of your work. With the straight guide it only takes a finger on the left to keep things in contact with the guide.
Thank you for all of the helpful content!
Thanks for the good information.
im here 2 learn!
Hi Al, great video. My Pfaff 1245 is skipping stitches, do you have any idea what yo do to fix the skipping stitches? Thanks
The timing moment is 1/8" past the bottom dead center.
Great ideas Al on the log book. I am getting ready to buy a 3 or 4 cobra from LMC but I am not sure which one I really need. Doing leather work for 50 years, have two old singer machines but I am getting older and hands are hurting so I want a nice new machine to sew those holsters and knife sheaths. Decisions, decisions......
The decision is simple. The class 4 with the electronic positioning system. Here are my reasons why. The footprint in the shop between the class 3 and the class for his negligible. So, you're not saving any space. As a long-term operator of sewing machines and leather making I have carpal tunnel and all kinds of arthritic disabilities in my hands from a lifetime of leather work. The electronic positioning system minimizes the need for operating the hand wheel by hand. The computer positions the needle perfectly for pivoting and for removing the material. There is no substitute and it is a great labor saving device. Do yourself a favor and consider these options. There is a learning curve. But with little patience and the little effort you will optimize the system so that it better serves your purposes. Stick with me and I will guide you through the learning process so that you can benefit from your investment.
@@albaneforleather Thanks so much for that info. That was exactly what I was looking to do. I will let you know what I came up with in the next few weeks. Thanks again.
Excellent information! Thank you so much.
Having problems adjusting my feed dogs it’s still rubs against the plate
Start over and try again.
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!

Just got a nameless bell skiver, sm-801. Exact same as these resellers that just stick their sticker on it. Brilliant.
It doesn't work quiet like that but close.
I've done my research and bought based on that. I would really be interested to hear from you what differences there are. The only item that could possibly be upgraded on these machines is the bell knife and maybe a belt. Not much other than 60 pounds of cast iron with gears and pulleys.
@@diastoleny okay, think about it for a moment. The body of the machine is basically a hunk of cast iron right? But it's got a bunch of moving parts in it. Those moving parts are subject to exchange. The vendor and in this case we're talking about the leather machine company specifies very specific parts for their machines. They may or may not be different than some of the other vendors selling the same type of equipment. I know that the leather machine company machine as a little wiper that helps guide the leather scrap off the feed roller and down into the trash chute. Another variable part could be like you mentioned, the quality of the bell knife itself. You can bet that there are lots of varieties of the same type of knife. How about the springs associated with the presser foot lift and the feed roller tension? Those parts could be exchanged for better parts as well. So while your statement is mostly correct. There are some variables that the different vendors have to offer. Thank you for your comment.
Im just sharing my experience in order to help other people. I did a lot of research and found not many take the time to share their experiences with unlabeled skivers.Thats the right thing to do. I'm loving mine. All good. @albaneforleather
Definition of doing to much
Lol.
Can you make video on loopers setting please.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you. I have learned so much from you. Keep it coming because I am soaking it all up.
I just bought a Cobra Class 4 and was looking for some simple and well presented videos on the basics of working with it. Looks like I found a hidden gem.
Well it's been almost a year. Are you satisfied with this product?
I'm not really the right person to ask. I don't necessarily need to convert a cylinder bed machine to a flatbed by using an attachment. I have flatbed machines that I use when I need them. As far as the workpiece in question I feel that at the time the product needs a little more refinement. The edges were all sharp. The edge guide system that they had designed was cumbersome and basically useless. I didn't find that the product at that time was an upgrade from the original wooden platform that the leather machine company produced. In their defense the product was new and has probably evolved to being a little bit nicer than it was at that time. As far as the leather machine companies product was concerned I think that that work platform greatly outperforms the aluminum one due to the fact that it's just more robust. Sure it takes a couple moments longer to install. Sure it's big and bulky and heavy but it works perfectly. That is as long as the operator is willing to adapt themselves to it. I think the controversy around these platforms came from some exaggerated marketing from a person who didn't necessarily have enough experience to be a product development person. Just because somebody had an idea doesn't always mean it's a great idea. And this is a perfect example of it. Especially with the edge guides. Now again, I will say it that it's been a year and they've probably had the opportunity to upgrade their designs a little bit but overall I wouldn't use it just for the simple fact that I don't believe in converting a cylinder bed into a flatbed machine with a gadget I'd rather just use a flatbed machine when the time was appropriate. Thank you for your question.

Thanks just what I needed to know.
Very informative, thank you.
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.
@@albaneforleatherThanks, what type of leather am I looking for?
@@pauleyedwin6056 That's almost like asking me what we want for dinner. Choices like that vary from maker to maker. You're going to have to find what works for you and your customer.
@@albaneforleatherThanks Al, it’s rough being a newbie without a mentor.
These videos are very informative
King!!!
I just restored an old Necchi OPC which has a similar mechanism. I wouldn’t be able to sew until I run into this video 🤩🕺🏻🤸♂️. Mine had a split thread issue and now it is sewing like a butter ✌️ Thank you so much.
What do I do now? I’ve got everything off like you showed and I still can’t get the bobbin case to move.
Did you get it done yet? It's been 16 hours since you left your comment.
