    I am looking at a Singer 211-166 that can use needle sizes 135-16 and 135-17. Can you tell me what thread sizes this machine can handle? I am wanting to be able to sew two layers of 4-5 oz veg tan leather for small to med size projects. Thank you all for your advice and opinions. redeye00 Norm

    Hi All! I am very new to the leather craft work. I make custom knives and want to make a belt loop, 2"X75", (1/8" thick) for the use of running it on my knife grinder. It will be used for final honing of the blade to ultimate sharpness. My question involves how to taper the ends 1 1/2" back from the tips to make a seamless lap joint that would be glued together. How can the tapering be done? Sandpaper is the only thing that comes to my mind. What are your recommendations for the tapering method and what kind of glue would be best?? Your reply would be especially appreciated... Additional info: belt travel will be 1700 rpm. It will be subjected to only mild heat. Thank you ~ Norman
