Just received a book from a guy whom i didnt know, but he was cleaning out an old house. Said he was told that I was learning to do leather work. ANYWAY, the book is titled "LEATHERWORK MANUAL'', written by AL Stohlman,A.D. Patten,and J.A. Wilson.Book was published in 1969. Book is in excellent condition. Do any of you know the last two authors? Trav

Hello all, my question is ,do any of you have a decorative stitch you could share? I build custom knives and most of my stitching consist of the two needle saddle stitch. I also use a single needle to do a running stitch ,such as when you skip every other punch hole. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks , Trav

Anyone know how to get hidecrafters to deliver??? I have order the same items twice. Both times I have talked to a very nice lady whom i THOUGHT would get the order out quickly.After a month i think they are not going to do anything. Do they read anything on this forum? anyone else have this problem? Trav

the left and right twist for a machine is because one is used on the bobbin and the other is used for the top threading. I have an American straight needle that sew a lock stitch and these are what i use Trav
