Thanks so much for the advice... I'll look into some of the ideas you mentioned! I already have access to the adult section but its incredibly quiet! As for your ** i tend to agree in part, however , it also appears often that those not in the know, or havent been smacked upside the head hard enough by tjose who do Know! Have the opinion that its all about hurting women... if youre doin it right... it absolutely is not. Also, i have 8 current orders on my work bench, 5 are for men.... to be used for them, the things on my bench for women... bracelets so i guess its a just a matter of perspective. Thanks really again for the welcome, i do appreciate it! Sometimes i do struggle a bit with the way things are explained, maybe my brain just thinks in a different direction than a guy's lol

I've done a search but dont see what i'm looking for exactly so i thought i would ask. I make NSFW stuff. ( Not sure if i should add a pic... )Some of these items are worn against the skin for several hours at at time. I generally use medium to heavy weight biker chap type leathers generally speaking i either hand stitch the edges for a decent finished look or do a double loop edge lacing with soft deerskin lace (3/16) buying this lace is rather expensive though (around $20 for 50Ft at Springfield Leather with wholesale pricing) I usually need 30ft of lace to cover a project and adding the price to my products is getting to the point that i'm almost doubling my actual material costs! I've played around a bit with the regular leather lacer ( the one you put in a hole in leather and pull) but have very mixed results... the leather i work with and suede.. sigh... is just tooooo soft and while I've made it work with a few really good bits, usually its a failure and a waste! I've also played a tiny bit with that Australian lacer? the one you put on your finger? again, i think the leather and suede i use is just too soft cause i cant keep it consistent. ( do i just need practice??) my budget is near to nonexistent, I've been looking online for DIY projects or options that might help but have come up empty. I'm in the states, Arkansas, with Tandy and Springfield Leather being the only within reach leather suppliers within driving distance ( about 2 1/2 hours) does anyone have tips on a specific type of leather i might be able to get that will make really soft lace, or a method of softening firmer stuff? Or a technique i might not have yet to make it with the materials that i can easily get a hold of ? Advice very welcome! But please dumb it down for me.. i still don't understand ounces of leather, types of tanning and how that makes leather feel LOL

I have been a leather worker in the adult arena for 15 yrs.. I'm still learning every single day! I would like access to this area.

I use a similar track cutter ( made for quilting but works fine for the suede and soft leather i cut) It cuts very tidy and straight every time.. My ONLY problem is the first guide line is 1 1/4 inches in.. and i almost always need it to cut 1/4 in and 1/2 inch strips 18-20 inches long.. for that i use a self heal mat, an acrylic 20 inch ruler and a rotary blade cutter.. VERY rarely do i have an issue.. I'm desperate to find something that i could build or buy ( inexpensively ) that will cut good braiding lace from the same VERY soft leathers and suede.
