Here's a link to another thread with an asking price. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=34039

Gregg at http://store.keysew....nded-edge-guide sells the Juki MAH-152010A0 Suspended Edge Guide Ruler Kit for $225 on that Web sire and for $185 on eBay at http://www.ebay.com/...t-/270936108930. You might contact Gregg with the compatibility question. I have one on my Juki 1508 and like it

Years ago we lived in Santa Cruz and bought tanned hides from Salz Tannery, as you all must know is now closed. I bought two hides and have now used them up. I would like to buy again, but I have no idea of the type -- other than it's soft, not very thick and black. I would like the recommendation of a supplier (suppliers) to whom I could send a sample.

Here is a link to the manual. http://www.consew.com/Files/112347/PartsBooks/118.pdf

For a little more detail, I use seam-stick rather than pins. Since seam-stick tends to gum-up the needle, it is applied toward the center of the hem away from the stitch line. The inside, flat-feeled seam is the hardest to get over, so I start toward the back on top of that seam, sew a few stitches, back-tack and then sew off that hump rather than over it. Starting on that seam also means that the starting and ending back-tacks are less visible. The regular seam on the other side is relatively easy to get over. The jean-a-ma-jig is helpful finishing on the flat-felled seam.

Actually, I do have a compound walking-foot machine, but I'm a novice and sometimes I get over the seams easily and sometimes find the jean-a-ma-jig helpful.

While not a thread answer, to help get over the seams I use a jean-a-ma-jig, AKA hump-jumper.
