    oily leather

    From the album: GOOD PICTURES

    A piece of crappy leather I washed, skived, and incorporated a slice into the image for slc's contest.

    I have a 15.91 I wouldn't trade for anything. I do all my wallet interiors with it, edge binding, and have also sewn lining on the back of guitar straps with it. Unless you're going into the saddle business it's a great machine and will use #69 thread which makes things look more profession and stronger. The only problem is it's so fast. But I took a thick piece of leather and stuck in the foot so it can't go all the way down if I forget to watch my foot. Of course a servo motor is a bit better option Cheryl

    I absolutely adore the stick girls on the front. I used that on an advertisement on mine and it looked so neat. I think they are beautiful bags. Cheryl

    I set some pyramid spots on a collar and put a lining on it but I sewed mine by hand. However if you put this on the throat side to sew both sides it might be possible to sew it. Hope this helps. Cheryl

    I've never use 14oz to make a belt, that's pretty heavy duty. I usually just line mine with something it the customer wants and sew it on, like lamb or even thin embossed leather on the back. I'd think that heavy the bend would definitely need skived. Cheryl

    Thanks Rae, I've decided to do the piece as wall art for myself. Will start very soon. C

    Carson, this is great. I am so impressed, gave me more ideas for mine. I don't have it on leather yet so will use some of your ideas for mine. Great job. Cheryl

    Rae sorry it took me this long to get a sketch up. Feedback always welcome before I commit to leather Cheryl

    Rae that's cool how you are going to mold yours some too instead of just using shading for the 3D effect you're going for. And Keenan I'll be watching out for the revenge, LOL. And the Fourth has been with me all day, doing some lacing and it's coming out good for once, LOL.

    when you start sewing or have to splice, tuck the extra you leave between the leathers and continue on sewing over top of it which will hide you ends. Your stitching holed look pretty good to me. I groove lightly down the leather and run an overstitch wheel down the groove (use a square for both of these steps) and then use a stitching punch to punch the overstitch marks. But a lot of people use chisels instead which automatically keeps your holes aligned and punches at the same time. Cheryl

    Saddle Soap

    DoubleC replied to Wink's topic in Getting Started

    Wink, I use saddle soap on every project I make out of veg tanned to burnish my edges with. I'm not sure of what articles you are referring to. I've never seen it mentioned here that saddle soap may be harmful. Perhaps it would be to a rough out leather or suede but I don 't use it on those leathers. Cheryl

    Hi Jonathan, I'm glad you enjoyed the challenge. Yes Q is going to do a steam punk challenge for us but didn't have the time for it this month. They are a little bit of work but I enjoyed all of it. Hope to see you soon. Cheryl

    I tried to indicate the tears where going in by making them dark like the hole, to make them look further away. But the dye job went wonky on me and what's supposed to be dark came out light, and i decided I liked it John. So I'm going to leave it like this, like a photo negative. Thanks for your help. Cheryl
