Thanks to everyone for your help! I'm going to try and brand the leather. If I get to the place where I'm doing larger quantities I will definitely look into getting embossing plates engraved.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking maybe lamb was a little too "soft" for tooling but just wasn't sure. I'm glad you told me because I would have spent the entire weekend trying to tool it! I'll look into the branding.

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this site and tooling. I'm a designer with a small line and I use a lot of leather. I do a lot of embellishment, lacing and braiding but am starting to do some tooling. (I've done it before for wallets and belts, but never for a garment). I'm not having a lot of luck with the tooling showing up on the lamb. It could be that I'm just doing something wrong because I'm a beginner but I thought I would see if any of the experts have any suggestions or advice for me. I'm wondering if the skin is too soft to hold the impression from the tools. Just not sure. Any advice or suggestions anyone has for me is much appreciated! Thanks so much, Christine Ramsey
