  5. Thank you so much, i kinda thought that. i dont mind the small bobbin but the reverse would be a plus..
  6. Is there a lot of difference in a Consew 225 vs. a Juki lu563 sewing machine ?
  7. James when you go to get the machine take plenty pieces of leather take what you think you will be sewing. then you will know what the machine will do for you.$280.00 is a great price.
  8. Check with your local sewing machine dealer I bet he will have one..

  10. Yan the Veg tan leather you got can be used for soles......BuT it will weare out fast... what you should have got was SOLE BENDS. THIS IS VERY THICK LEATHER THAT HAS BEEN COMPRESSED AN AWLFUL LOT...FOR USE AS SHOE SOLES. NOW FOR THE UPPER , there has been made a lot of shoes made from veg tan leather. they just wear out......
  11. When you come for the Visit... Be sure to bring about 8 of those quality Tanned German Deer Skins..........(large ones at that)..... they do some factory Brained Tanned Buckskin that is awsum.
  12. Dwight. thank you. I did not put a lining in mine. But a lining will make the Jacket easy to put on and take off. I am not a Taylor but i can please myself and get a good fit on someone else. The reasoning for the seuwed side out is, it will resemble Brain Tanned leather. Go for it and have fun making your Buckskin Jacket.
  13. Jimbob these folks are the best. Contac Nick Pittman at ( www.nickosew.com ) they are located a little south of Jackson Tn. I dont know if it is too far away from you but they will ship. AND LIKE I SAID... FINE FOLKS TO DO BUSINESS WITH.1-800-526-4256. Luke Hatley

  16. If i were doing it i would get Polyester Velvet at the Fabric Store also it will look Much better than Felt.

  18. I M H O .....I think you need to talk to the company you bought the Horse Hide from. they should be able to tell you what is WRONG.............
