Hello everybody !!
....even though i've been reading the forum for a while now, this is first time posting for me. I've been working with leather for about 8-9 years now but only making dog collars ( i will post few pics very soon). I made few knife sheets but nothing special. Everything that i made , pretty much,was stitched with a Tippmann Boss...some of my early stitching was done by hand.Because i needed somethin for lighter leather (few small projects that i couldn't use the Boss for ) I end up buying this machine few days ago..it did what i was interested in , so i didn't care too much about the manufacturer...brand name...original or copy and so on...Right now i am using it for stitching no more the 2-3 layers of 3-4oz and it work flawless..it has a #24 needle and works with the #138 thread and it has a foot lift of a bit over 3/8in..it has reverse...variable speed motor ...and that's pretty much everything i know about the machine.
Is anybody here recognizing tis machine just by looking at the pics?...can anybody tell me more about it ? can i use heavier thread?..can i actually stitch any type of leather as long as it's under 3/8in thick?
I know that another way of finding out some of the answers would be to actually to try the machine and find out it's limitations..lol...but i thought it would be much safer just to ask somebody that would already know
So here are the pics
...and here are some of my dog collars....I was gonna post them under "Critique my work" because i am really interested in hearing an "educated opinion"...so don't hold back !!..lol..
Thanks in advance !!!
