Lined Belt With Pyramids
Fd3615 replied to Sona's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I haven't noticed any reduction in strength for drilling stitching holes. Now that I have a sewing machine.. I'll rarely use anything else... -
Very cool project. Nice when we get time to make something so useful. I am jealous. I want one.

First Real Cobra 4 Project
Fd3615 replied to Fd3615's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I love the machine. What made me buy it? Tired of saddle stitching.. lol.. I have never done much lacing, but do a ton of saddle stitches. Also I have customers that want decorative stitching on rifle slings and suspenders.. So it was a no brainer. -

Anyone Know What Weight Of Leather This Is?
Fd3615 replied to bylinesupplyco's topic in How Do I Do That?

I recently purchased a cobra class 4. I am wondering what the tricks are for sewing backing material onto straps. If it is a leather backing I know I can glue / stitch, and then finish the edges. What if i want to sew some form of padding? what are the tips and tricks?
