    Love the belt, it looks great but I really like the thicker thread. I think you will like it after you try 346 Dan know I did few leather projects 30 some years ago but they were little moc kits and cheap belts, nothing like this. So all this is new to me.

    HI Red I use a #26 needle, 346 top and 207 thread in the bobbin. I have a CB4500 so I'm not sure all heavy sewing machine is the same. Dan

    I have to put the spots on first so, I can hide the bottom of the spots with the liner. so the prongs don't catch you wrist. there is no liner on the black one. just on the brown one should I cut the liner before I bevel the edge

    Here are a few photo's showing the different look between sewing with 207 v's 346 I like the looks of 346 better.

    Hello The problem I am having is I cant seem to cut the lining leather without cutting into the wristband. I am using a rotary cutter. Is there a better way to cut the lining? Or do I need more practice There has to be another way. Do you have any tips. You can see in the photo

    I had that problem an it is from the top tension being to tight. I agree though you would b a lot happier with a CowBoy an a generator on your trailer. I have a CB4500 an love it. you can sew as slow or as fast as you want

    Let me try this again as the first try did not work I've been making a lot of belts an wristbands and thought I would try my luck at doing a marbling effect. both Drk brown. Hows the bottom color look ? That is just a piece of scrap leather on the bottom.

    I've been talking about it for years, I really want to make my own saddle. Can someone tell me how or what is the best way to learn. I want to learn from home if possible. Thank you Dan

    If you oil before you dye don't that make it hard too get a true color when dyeing ? Do you soak in oil or just apply small amount oil ?

    In every kind of work from construction to leatherwork, lamination is key for strength

    I've tried in the past to use Resolene in the past, I like the finish but, I can't apply without streaks.. How do you do it ? I am thinking of buying a sprayer. Does anyone know where I can buy a good one. Thank you Dan

    I am just learning an was wondering if Saddle-lac is a good finish for belts & collars. What is the best finish for veg-tan leather & why

    The belt looks wonderful. I think the 346 looks better. That is just my opinion, try I once, I think you will like it

    Thank you RED. I know I set up into the morning hrs trying everything with no success an I seen your post and gave it a try. Works out great. I am using 346 top thread an 207 bobbin thread and it works great.. Thank you Thank you Saved me a lot of time and money
  22. wlg190861
    You are right Tom It now makes sense. I will play with it in the morning. Thank you Dan

    What I mean is when you run your finger over the liner on the belt, I don't want to feel the stitching can u cut a stitching groove in thin lining leather

    I'm sewing belts. I am looking for the thread to sink into the leather lining so its flush an not laying on top
