I'm no pro at this but I have a size 18 needle in my machine. It's a leather needle but as for twist, ummmm?

Sewing with Artisan 618-1SC. The stitches don't appear to be straight they appear to have a slight 10 - 15 angle to them. Is there a way to fix this? Could it be as easy as my needle being crooked? Thanks

Can't see pics (I had to lost the pics from last night. Please repost. ~Johanna)

The therapist said that it's a good thing because the meds were not working and my only other alternative was shock therapy ! Great work guys ! Thanks for working so hard on getting things back up.

Just finished this piece up. It's a dog bed for a teacup yorkie. The project was a huge learning experience in hand stitching and learning how to cut the shearling. I know what "NOT" to do the next time. Anyway, here's the piece.

ok, guys/gals I want know whose shop is turning into a storage area of christmas presents being hidden from the kids. I have more HUGE boxes in my shop of stuff and now i can hardly roll around.....

first knee jerk reaction was....HOLY *bleep* that is insane !

ok everyone, The question is Stain first then Acrylic paint or Acrylic paint then stain ? I have to paint a ladybug on something, I'm going to use saddle tan for the leather stain so should i stain the entire project then paint the ladybug using Acrylic or should i paint on the acrylic then mask it "SOMEHOW" then stain the rest of the project?

I recently found a great place to purchase thread. Loads of colors, lots of sizes fast and easy web based ordering. The Thread Exchange

Ok, I don't have "THE" specific machien to sew shearling. So i have a few general questions for those of you that have sewn it before. 1) what size thread 2) what type of thread ( poly or nylon) 3) I'll be using "MOMS" singer from wally world so what type of stitch would be best? I have an artisan 618 but it only sews a straight stitch, if that would be best then let me know Any knowledge on sewing shearling greatly appreciated here ! Thanks guys/Gals

ok, this is a shot in the dark but, as you compress foam it becomes somewhat hard. I would think if you could compress/squeeze the areas adjacent to your stamp in some sort of vice you would "POSSIBLY" get the desired look. That's just the first thought that popped in my mind, so I had to share.

ok, this possibly may have been discussed. What do you all prefer to sew with. Polyester or Nylon. I've sewn a few projects so far using Nylon but I hear for outdoor use that polyester may be better and stand up to chemicals a little more so than the nylon. What do you guys think?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good thread supplier. Looking for some colors. Thanks in advance

Hey guys, I finished this up last nite after a few cups of coffee around 2am. Took a quik pic to show ya.

If i could just put these friggin stamps down and get my arse to work on the html I would be in good shape. I hope that during the xmas vacation I can squeeze in a few days to get it up and running. I have the skeleton of it done but im wavering on my decision making process...hmmz do i want to code the whole thing or use flash....I may just put up what i have so far then convert to flash as time passes

I concur! He's been a great help and inspiration to me & my wallet making. Thanks Kevin

You know i'm a fan ! WICKED ! !

Wow those look great ! What is the Brown color on the one to the left?

After 12 years Blind Melon has put itself back together. I'm going to the show tomorrow and wanted something to give to Travis who is the lead singer.

I'm no advocate for AOL and know very little about it. I would gander to say that AOL has some browsing preferences that you may want to look into

Ok this isn't funny, I really have to get home and do leatherwork and the 2x10's just aren't strong enough.

oh very cool. I came across some of these saddles on another site just earlier today. I was shocked at the quality they were able to achieve with limited tools. As for time they had way more than i do.
