Thanks guys. I’ll probably make another seat so I can swap between brat and café depending if I have a passenger. I’ll do the single as diamond pattern again.
The issue wasn’t with the needle punching the leather, it was with the bobbin mechanism getting all knotted up and winding itself so tight and pulling the leather down into the machine. I worked for half an hour to free it up but had no choice but to cut the leather the get access to free it. It it was my very first attempt at sewing and seat design so I shouldn’t have expected perfection. Either way I learned a lot and this new seat is coming along nicely with no flaws so far. I’m getting a feel for machine settings and the way the materials want to be worked.
