[Chair I Reupholstered For A Customer.]

He picked it up this afternoon and was one happy man. And that of course made me happy. He is attaching the arms himself because he's not sure how he wants to do them yet. Cheryl

very cool, Cheryl

[What Type Of Leather?]

Hi Andy. The leather looks to me to be at least 5-6 oz. And I buy most of my supplies here http://springfieldleather.com/ Cheryl

He offered to sell them for me in June without a commission and I'm just now getting around to making some. Cheryl

[Leather Painting /sealer Help Needed]

I use resolene to seal my things and it always seems to dry just fine. Cheryl

[Under The Shirt Money Belt, Pocket For Passport, Id, Ccs And Bills]

I made up this design when a college student asked me to make her an under the shirt money belt to take to Europe with her. She got it today, it fit well and I was pleased with it although it's not perfect. Cheryl

Great idea for a great cause. Cheryl

[Resolene On Upholstery Leather]

I have a chrome tanned messenger bag and never treated it with anything. It doesn't wipe off so easily but it repels water on it's own. I don't know of anything you can use really, maybe someone else will have some answers Cheryl

[Resolene On Upholstery Leather]

Hi Chuck. My experience is that resolene will just peel off of the chrome tanned. Cheryl

[Looking For Advice On Sewing An Inlay Of Hair On Hide Over Finished Leather]

That's not an inlay but an applique or overlay. more info would be helpful but generally you'll want to skive around all the edges of your design so it will lay flatter against the other leather and then sew around all the edges. Cheryl

[Cobra Class 4 Presser Feet]

Tim, Steve said to cut them? I think that's odd. I didn't get my flatbed attachment or one chain but I called and they shipped them out that day. I'd ask for the correct foot to be sent because I wouldn't know how to start cutting them. The individual feet all serve a purpose and I don't know how they will sew to that purpose if you cut them. Sorry this happened on your 'twin' machine. Cheryl

Just looked closer and the are essentially the same, but not exact. I'd talk to Steve again.

[First Project On The Cobra, Cross-Body Purse With Night Latch Strap]

Thank you so much Michelle. I already have two people that want bags like this. I'm so enjoying this. The 'rolled' edge I had to sew on was where I sewed it inside out. And LOL about the two Cheryls. Cheryl

[First Project On The Cobra, Cross-Body Purse With Night Latch Strap]

Thanks Cheryl, I have a lot to learn still as you can see but I'm having so much fun. sorry took so long to respond, hours all mixed up. That's a night latch design Twin Oaks showed me way back when where you pull the leather through slits in itself, similar to a mystery braid but just one slit. I'll take a close up of it and post it later. Told me it was used when castles were guarded around the hand and saddle so if a guard dozed off he didn't fall off his horse!

[First Project On The Cobra, Cross-Body Purse With Night Latch Strap]

First project on the Cobra. Cross Body Bag with Night Latch strap. Things I learned. First, a lesson I relearn daily.....try to be smarter than the project. I didn't think about putting the D rings on until after I'd sewn the sides of the bag. Even a cobra will not change the direction it sews. No matter how nicely you ask. Do not put your fingers in the area of the presser feet. If you do? DON'T drop the presser feet. If you want the machine to sew forward it's most helpful that you don't have it in reverse. Last? When all else fails blame the tension.

Seriously first thing besides curly qs I've sewn on the machine.

[White Cobra 4]

Bob I can't say enough good things about it. I found out second time I watched the video I had it threaded wrong and it was STILL sewing good. I've sewn soft italian leather and 10 oz veg tanned doubled over and it did both with no problem. I just really love it.

[White Cobra 4]

I'm still practicing, haven't done a real job yet. Cobra Steve says it has a learning curve of 2 hours. Maybe if you're a savant, but I'm not, LOL. I agree absolutely with bro Tim, they are huge in person. I'm still afraid of mine a little. Not because they are so big but of messing something up. I've never had something like this new and so nice.
