  1. I would also check needle. If you put on one that you previously used, it might have a nick on it and shreddin thread.
  2. Latigo and bridle have a clean finished look. Inner part of some of our leashes are done with veg tan. Plain veg tan will work, just doesn't look as nice.
  3. 1 thing is to learn the weight(oz.) you wish to work with. The ones you ordered online should say the weight of them. If too thin? Get a higher oz. Hope that helps and starts the ball rollin for others to input. Malik
  4. Thanks for the replies everyone! Andrew...they cost about $3000 and up depending what model you get. I lucked out and acquired mine just under a grand.
  5. Thanks Eric! It gets a little easier and better everytime. I wanted to take my 2 lil machines down after looking at your pics. Lolol...looks like the playland of sewing machines. Thanks for posting! Malik
  6. Please post up pics if available and any extra info about it that you like. I appreciate all the info i've learned untill wee-hours of the morning from this site. 1: Juki DSU-145 equipped with a Reliable servo motor. I purchased it from someone that use to make handbags. It can sew most of the collars we make when we use 1/8" padding inside, not so well when I use 1/4" padding. I also use this machine to do all of the letters to collars/leashes. 2: Adler 867 M-type temporary equipped with a Family servo motor, and adjustable guide. This does our collars with 1/4" padding with NO problems. It has a 20mm pressor foot lift. I'm really satified with this machine. Next...I would like to own a Patcher(29K) and a 441. Thanks in advance for anyone that shares their equipment! Malik
  7. Thanks Mijo! Thanks H Factor! Thanks! It's a new style of internal stitching technique. J/k....I decided not to stitch the center section, because I didn't want to have a crooked stitch line when needle goes thru some of the hard parts of skin. So, I just glued it to keep for my dog as a trial test to see if it would hold up. So far, so good! I did double stitch sections on each side. Thanks Leather Legion!
  8. One set I made for my crew and one for a good friend on mine who is one of the creators of the Shorty Bull. One leash has the tail attached...the other just has accents. Malik
  9. Just a tip....which is sometimes the problem for me. If you feel any sharp edges around tip of needle besides the point. Keep a piece of sandpaper around to smooth it out. Sometimes the dremel is closer and I use that. Malik
  10. It's definitely from the water, then getting stretched on the walk home. Other option to 9/10oz if he's to tuff for 6oz. Sew 2-6oz together. What kind of dog is it or size?
  11. That's exciting to possibly have your work seen on tv! Looks good...good luck!!
  12. Here you go Christie.... https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-4Qszr7V8BTZ285RFVEQVdxNVU/edit?pli=1 Has anyone made anything yet from these patterns? Post up if you have please...
  13. I believe the rivets curl and lock into the caps.
  14. I have a Adler 867 thats smooth as silk. I lucked out and bought a used one at an AWESOME price. Has a foot lift height of 20mm, which is perfect for collars I make. Good luck on your hunt!
  15. Here's a good video to watch by Arthur Porter making bags! Can't wait to see your next one...
  16. Awesome work! Especially for self taught!!!
  17. Very Nice! Just finished watching hour plus video of making a messenger bag. I gotta give it a shot!!
  18. Our collars are made thick, padded, and with names just as your wish list!!!
  19. The belly is soft. The closer you get to the center of back...is where it gets harder. But if you can cut a wide enough section of the back for what your making, it can be sewn thru. I use barge cement glue, which works fine.
  20. Hey Gregg...I called a couple of weeks ago about the generic left toe foot for this machine. But the lady say you were away until the following week. I believe the part number is 0067-220713. Needed to know price. Thanks for response. Also can you tell me which feed dog would be best for me? Malik
