I just sold one exactly like it for $40.00..I also had 12 Singer heads that I gave away to a guy that wanted to learn how to fix them! They are great machines-sew just about anything:)

Hi Cheryl! Thank you for the help, I spent a couple of hours last night cruising the board, and came to the same conclusion. That's why they say it takes a lot of patience to do leatherwork:) I'm a "I want it done yesterday" kind of person, so all that waiting for coats to dry should teach me how to slow down a little. Using Bag Balm is a great tip that I hadn't heard before, I am going to give that a try for conditioning-I run a breeding farm with 40 mares, so I might just have some kicking around here somewhere! What do you think I can do with the belt that I messed up on? It's just for me, so it doesn't need to be absolutely perfect, but is there anything I can do to fix it? I love this board, everyone is so friendly and willing to help everyone..gives me a little faith in humanity:) Thanks Zina

Hi everyone..I have been lurking on this board for a long time, and this is my first post. If I can't figure something out, I can usually find it somewhere on the board, but I'm pretty confused right now:) I just started doing leather work a couple of monthes ago, so please bear with me..real noobie but you guys are educating me rather quickly. I'm just finishing a belt, and I first dyed with Eco Flo Hi Lite, let it dry overnight. Then I used Eco Flo Antique Gel, wiped it, polished it fairly well, left it to sit for 12 hours or so. Then, I used Fiebings Leather Balm with Atom Wax, thinking it was a sealer..Of course it took all of the antique off, and some of the dye too. Now I have a hot mess that I don't know how to fix. I'm not sure if it's because I used two different brands of products, or I used the Balm for a sealer and that caused the problem..or it's all of the above! Can anyone help me with this? Thanks so much! Zina
