And another Welcome from NW Indiana

They look like for head sets, what size

I would try using some deer skin over the Veg Tan and maybe a little Bead work.

Thank you for the info.

I have the opportunity to purchase one of many differ sewing machines 1 is Singer 111W and it seems mainly for lighter leather, 1 Is Juki DDL-8700 which is straight stitch (lockstitch ??) medium weight leather,1 is Juki DDL- 5550 5.5mm lift of presser foot and is for medium leather lock stitch,1 is a Pfaff 5483-h-814/01 what is seen on this is (chain stitch ??) and has 7mm between needle and plate so I thought heavy leather, Durkopp 211-15103 which seems to sew light weight leather, Mitsubishi LS2-180 which seems to do some leather (Weight??) I will be flat sewing ad not over 10oz. -belts - holsters - collars - wallets - money belts Hope I have gave enough info . I would like a machine that will work on most of those items but price like for the Durkopp which is high, has to be a concern but performance is also so there has to be a balance.

Welcome haven't seen who is new for sometime, but a belated Welcome. Great site to gather info and get help.

Welcome to the forum

Ray if you do spilt them up I would be interested in the BERETTA VERTEC MOD. 92 FS, 9MM

I use John James needles and I have to pull many through with pliers, to do this use pliers that are smooth and pull your needle from the end straight and not the side as you will have a issue with pulling off sided and brake more needles that way. I use #2 an #4 needles for the most part.

I use 6' 3' 2' foot aluminum rule but also use 4' aluminum dry wall square

WOW

Just looking right now I am using 15-17oz for the items I am making.

What kind od weight are we talking?

I think it is a Zippered stitch

I think your going to have a issue trying that unless mainly doing 3D and letter stamps. Can't see trying to do a basket weave or beveling with a press, but where there's a will there's away I guess good luck

Very nice Wallet I have to try something differ maybe snake or something differ. You can download that book from Tandy $3.99

Heads up guys thanks for the help I have been sent the info. that I was in need of. Thanks for looking and the feed back

I would look at getting some heavy cardboard like fridge comes in put heavy double stick tape down and then rug.
