sheathmaker Report post Posted March 6, 2008 I don't have the opportunity to carve a lot so this was kind of a pleasant departure from stamping. This knife is a really old Case brand bowie and the owner wanted a representation of the map of the Rebublic of Texas circa 1845 depicted on the front of his sheath. I had done this dual line carved quilting before and I thought it would fit with the knife and the map. The lines were cut with a beader blade.

PAUL what type of sewing machine do you use ? also the small pc of leather that is sewn on the top of the sheath, the type of machine used, thread and needle size? a courious mind wants to know..... Thank you. Luke; The two machines I use are both Artisan. I have the 797ABLTHR which is a smaller flat bed and does all the finer, smaller stitching on my sheaths. The edge seam is done on the Toro 4000 which is still in the line up at Artisan, but being overwhelmed by the Toro 3000 for good reason....Price!!! I use number 69/69 thread through a number 18 needle on the 797AB and 207/207 thread with a number 25 needle on the Toro 4000. Both machines can use other thread and needle cobinations, but that's my standard set up for all my sheaths, holsters, belts etc. Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
