Does anybody know how to get the crack leather finish on this picture?

I've searched for a while but I can't find the process anywhere.

I've had good results using acrylic on veg tanned leather, but now I have a project that requires applying acrylic on oily leather.

Is that possible?

Do I need to treat the leather in any way before applying acrylic?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Karina,

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me. I've looked in the forum but I can't find this information.

I'm new to leatherwork and looking into buying my first sewing machine, I've read a lot of threads and have a few machines in mind, but my question is, can the machines in the $2,000 range do stitches starting outside of the leather?

If that doesn't make any sense please take a look at the attached image, I'm looking for a machine that can do the stitch on the left, that starts outside of the leather, as opposed to inside as in the right image.

I apologize if I'm not using the right vocabulary, but like I said I'm very new.

Thanks in advance for your help.

RG
