    Roller Foot

    biglew replied to Averya's topic in Sewing Leather

    ok you can get a roller foot for the consew... cheap on ebay. We use them for sewing 3-4 mm leather and be sure to get a set of feed dogs and file them down so as not to chew up the back of the leather.... also our machines are compound or needle fed

    So I have access to a 150 watt laser and am looking for tips and helpful information. Like cleaning the burnt edges and of course the smell of the burn leather...any advice? thanks Lewis

    i have priced a lot of die shops and texas is one of the most affordable with high quality ! They have made me at least 10 dies this year and I am a small guy.......

    sorry about that I read you said you finally bit the bullet and thought 1 st project.... Yeah I am still a novice but sometime I do a little edge finishing and then sew and lastly rework the edge

    hey for a first project it looks good. Practice... try looking on you tube for Ian Atkinson... he has great tutorials like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0EL7K2NhYs or Nigel Armitage both are amazing leatherworkers...

    it used to be 250.... now its more.

    thanks I have access to that type of cmc... and also do the laser and like you need to learn more about transitioning to the cmc for some things... I like to use the laser to lightly etch the design onto the leather rather than tracing before i go old school and knife cut.. thanks Lew
  22. biglew
    working my way up to doing that also... what type of cmc machine are you using?
  23. biglew
    are you milling derin? or what is it? thanks Lew

    i like many others are trying to find a local market to make a few dollars,, just curios what you typically charge for key fobs and assorted other Items. I don't want to be too cheap

    you know its kinda funny but I have a couple machines that are walking foot machines for leatherwork at home.. but then I get a job working in a professional leather environment and they use smaller machines with a needle feed... or unison feed
