Interesting CW, I don't really get how it works though...Maybe I'm dumb.

Really? Thank you so much for replying, I really appreciate the help!

Oh, I'd love to know too!

I'm very curious to find out how you roll leather, I think its beautiful and would love how to do it myself, if someone could tell me step by step or have a video or pictures of how to do it, it would be greatly appreciated forever more. Like this http://www.flushandpoint.com/products/0000000426_th.jpg It looks like you just simply fold the leather in half, stitch it as close to the roll as possible then cut off and round the edges? Thank you, Samantha

Thank you for your advice!!

Awesome, thanks, should I still use 10-12 ounce leather even when doubling the leather? I'm trying to appeal more to the english crowed, they love double leather halters.

As some of you may remember I also posted about what sewing machine I needed, Bob helped me pick the perfect machine for me and I appreciate his help greatly! But OH my gosh I am in over my head I tell you, all these tools have my head spinning, I don't know which to get. I have the book "Leathercraft TOOLS" by Al Stohlman and I have read it cover to cover. I didn't know there were so many tools and they all can do a lot of things. My question is which tools do I NEED that is not optional in any way, I will be making custom leather horse halters, some cattle halters but not many and also some dogs collars, minor minor leather repair, I'll be doing a lot of stamping and rivet, conchos, crystals and all that fancy stuff. I will be cutting my leather from 8-9 ounce skirting leather so y'all know what I need but I don't, I really want to get what I need to make my job easier. Thank you so much!

Ron, thats great I will surly need those size 22 needles when I order, how do I get them? I cannot find them on your website, the only size 22 you offer is for walking foot? Maybe I'll specify in checkout? or maybe I'll just call you, also since using a size 22 needle means I need to use a 92 or 138 thread how can I use a fine thread...like a 69? If you cannot get back to me on her I will call you, I know...A lot of questions but I much prefer not making mistakes when making decisions. Thank you, Samantha

Oh really? Does he have a website or any photos/videos of the CB2500?? The smallest needle size the techsew will take is a 22 and a 2mm stitch length, I'm wondering if its the right machine for me after all. I will be repairing horse blankets and do some leather repair, I will also be making custom leather halters as well. Tomorrow is my deadline to order my machine so any details would be super appreciated. Thanks, Samantha

Hi, thank you for replying back so quickly, I'm not sure what type of needle system/series this machine has, I talked to a man at the manufactures but I I didn't quite word my question correctly to get my answer, I emailed them but have gotten no reply. I was hoping to find someone else who uses this machine, I'm guessing since size 22 is the smallest needle this machine can handle makes it a bit hard to find perhaps.

Hello, I'm new here my name is Samantha and I should have introduced myself before making a help thread but I need help rather quickly. I have a blanket repair business here in GA and I am investing in a Techsew GA5-1R but I need a certain needle size that I have not been able to find, I need needle size #22 and metric size 140 I will be using thread size 92 which I am hoping is right but also wonder if I can use a 69 with a size 22 needle? Anyways does anybody know where I can find this size needle for the Techsew? Thank you so much! Samantha
