  1. Hi, do you have any pictures of your set-up? I have a 29-4 and am considering adding a servo motor. Any info would be greatly appreciated!! Naomi
  2. Evening bags and clutches I line with silk. Heavier, more utilitarian bags i like using a poplin weight cotton, for cosmetic and toiletry bags i like the bonded polyester. You can find all of these linings at Joann's Fabrics. Sorry you probably figured something out by now Just noticed the date of your post =p
  3. When you make your next purse you can try a "drop in lining"; fold over the top edge of the fabric lining and stitch all around top edge of bag. This will provide you with a clean edge at top and a lining that can be pulled out of the bag for cleaning, etc.
  4. GOT IT!!!! Thank you so much!!! Naomi
  5. Hi, If this is still available I would like the pattern for the Dr. Bag. Thank you! Naomi nejordon@yahoo.com
  6. For the frames without holes, you place a small bead of glue in the frame groove. Do one side at a time and insert sides first. You can also stuff lacing into the grove with the leather if the leather is very thin. I let the first side dry for at least an hour (you should wait at least 15 minutes) then do the other side. After it has dried for a couple of hours I "crimp" the frame. There are special pliars for this but you can improvise with with regular pliars just make sure you place leather or cork on the teeth of the jaws as to not scratch the frame. Also be careful and try to crimp only the open end of the frame (where you inserted the leather) as to not crush the outside part. I crimp all around EVENLY! On the other frame with holes on the edge; these are stitching holes. Good luck
