I cancelled the actifeed and manually set it to 4 and that made a difference for a while. I actually got through more than 100 stitches without a thread break, then, BANG! The design sews out well for denim and sweatshirts, but for leather......... Since I've already ruined my customers jacket I'm at the point where I can try ANY suggestion! Is there anyone out there who has extensive experience working with leather on an Amaya XT?
