Ronan6ix Report post Posted March 27, 2015 Good design for a minimalist wallet. Did you find that the machine was worth it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
venator Report post Posted March 27, 2015 I love having the machine, it makes doing up prototypes easy and practical. If I were to make and sell these I might hand stitch but that's so time consuming when you're just playing with ideas it can be prohibitive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ronan6ix Report post Posted March 27, 2015 This is why I use bag stiffener for my prototypes. If your looking to get a basic idea of how something will go together, bag stiffener and thumb tacks works great for some items. If you just work in the thickness of your leather you can get a great idea of how it will end up. I also use bag stiffener for my final templates on the leather projects so it is two fold really. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
venator Report post Posted March 28, 2015 I do the same thing with the bag stiffener, for little objects like this it's nice to throw together witht he leather and machine. Fro the cutting, dyeing, and stitching it took maybe half an hour of my time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

venator Report post Posted April 1, 2015 In this case it's a Durkopp Adler 467 I bought from Nick-O-Sew. Honestly they were fantastic to deal with (which is impressive because I was a dick unfortunately due to other things that were going on) and the machine is great. I couldn't be happier.
