I am possibly purchasing 3 machines. Singer 7-31, Juki 562 and a Seiko Cw 8 B. I am planning on using them in leather repair for harness and bridles plus chaps and the like. All come with tables and motors. Any input on these machines would be grateful..The guy I am buying from has many machines. He is putting motors to them. I read here the 7-31 for harness should have a jump feed slotted single pressure foot and it does. I own a 29 patch machine already but thinking on a motor for that as well. New at this so all ears.

Really a great job on this saddle. I have never seen a saddle like this one. And your first one to boot. WOW.

WOW really nice. Love the colors and the leathers and the textures. Fantastic work!

Did you glue your lining in before stitching?

I was at an apple festival in Nov. They had alot of crafters there. I came up on this one and only leathercrafter there. Now his or her tooling was taking a knife and cutting a design in the leather. I have done stamp work and it would have looked better in my eyes than just cutting. Well let me tell you, it was one of the most busiest stands there. There is a real need for hand made items to sell. I have a problem with my life being to busy on a horse farm with new barn building. I have 2 rolls of leather, 2 sewing machines and some tools. I will do leather again because it is good for my sole. Maybe do something simple. It will still look great. I am hoping for this winter to put something together and post a picture. If you like doing it stay with it and if not then find a new niche. I look at it this way. At least you are trying. Judi

I am also interested. I am in Pa and I will drive there to pick it up.
