    @geordieracer Very nice work. You can resize your photos to a lower resolution and be able to post many more at a time. 800 x 600 pixels is quite adequate for viewing here. Saves on upload and download time for people with slow network connections too. Tom

    I've seen a purse and a knife sheath done this way. The people called it stitchless. Tom

    Happy I could be of some limited help and that you were able to solve the problem. The purse looks great! Tom

    Here are a couple more where lining was included in a google search. First used upholstery velvet. Second one gives info on selecting the lining. http://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/53350-wet-formed-cue-case/ http://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/14305-dragon-protection/ Tom

    I may have reversed the sort to put oldest posts first. Another good way to search is to use google and restrict the search to this site by including "site:leatherworker.net" without the quotes as part of the search string. I do remember there being something about lining the tubes from my browsing a few years ago. It might have been on JB's website too. Not sure. Anyhow, you're not so stupid. And more experience will help make searches work better for you. Google's search engines and databases are indexed far better than this site's so I often use it. More powerful, more money to play with! Tom

    See the following posts I found by searching for "cue case" (including the quotation marks to avoid all the other kinds of cases). Many posts by JohnBarton are quite informative. Tom

    Hey Trooper, can you upload your photos again? They seem to have disappeared for some reason. Thanks. Tom

    Hey @Ebbtide please upload your photos so we can all see them. Or fix your account with photobucket to allow third party hosting. Thanks. Tom

    Hey @RiverCity can you post the photos here or fix your photobucket account to allow third party hosting. None of your photos are visible to the rest of us. Tom

    Try a search. I found this one after a couple minutes. Tom

    @Bolanca Someone in China will start mass producing it and selling in large quantities on Alibaba. Tom

    Reduce the photo size to 800 x 600 pixels and you will have tons of space to load more photos. You can also make additional posts to this thread rather than starting a new thread. Tom

    Lots of threads here about burnishers and making your own. Try a search for burnisher. Tom

    Ya, you can ball up quite a mess under the feed plate in the bobbin area. And if you force it when it is jammed up, more damage than just having to clean up the mess. Safety clutch on some machines might save you, but just don't ever do it. You can turn backwards just a little if you were trying to place the needle in the right spot so you can reposition the work. But that is all. Tom

    The hook or shuttle can only pick up the loop in the top thread going in one direction, so yes, wheel must always turn only one direction. As above, use reverse or turn around to back stitch. Tom

    Tandy's works, comes with 3/8" staples, 1/4" works better. Leaves staples proud of the leather. Use a pliers to help clinch them tighter. Tom

    Try Tandy's Leathercraft Library for PDF. https://www.leathercraftlibrary.com/p-1158-horse-tack-accessory-pattern-pack.aspx? Tom

    And yes you can use a light crease as a stitching line. You can apply a crease anytime it suits you in your work process. Best to make sure you have the final edge you wish to follow. It is a little easier to use the creaser before you use the edger as you have more depth on the side of the leather to help guide your creaser. Tom

    @Frederick Please allow the server time to respond after hitting the post button. During times that the server is busy, or that the internet connection is slow, just be patient. One hit is enough. If you have edits to make and the period for making an edit has timed out, then just add a new post to the thread with any additional info or corrections that need to be made to your original post. You should also add your location to your profile. It helps make contact with people in your area that may be able to help or that are interested. I realize that you have your location in this post.

    I give it a couple wacks with a hammer. The punches, anvils, etc. pop right out. Tom

    Have you tried the thinner thread on both the top and bottom? Also, get some new thread of a known size, that is within the specs for the machine and try it out. Eliminate extra twists and turns around any posts. Tom
