I personally would use the waist an make wristbands or take and put 3 or four pieces together with 1 1/2" rings or what ever width the extra strap is an make some belts that way. They look nice Dan

Need Help! Can't Solve Cowboy Stitching Issue...
wlg190861 replied to NoPleather's topic in Sewing Leather
I bought a cb4500 a few years ago a had that problem myself at the beginning. First, make sure your top thread is threaded right and not catching on anything. What I did and works for me is I tightened my bobbin almost All the way tight an the rest of my adjusting is done on top. I can sew from 2 oz to 20oz with no problem, any adjustments needed are done on top. -
Yes I use a sewing machine its a Cowboy 4500

I was just wondering if anyone has made a purse out of upholstery leather. I have a few patterns but don't want to cut the hide if this is to thin, 2/3 oz. Sounds like a stupid question but I don't know. What is the most common thickness of leather used in purse making ?

By adding a welt to the seam, does that make the seam stronger or is that for looks ?

Go to your local ACE hardware store and, if not in stock they can order a 6' or 8' aluminum ruler. I use a 8' an it works great
