That is very nice..

Find a sewing machine mechanic in your area they should be able to help..

Move to a friendly state or you might have to travel to another state.

I have an C.S. Osborne 84 it work pretty good. If I put English Bridle through the splitter works great but the natural veg tan gives me trouble at times. I am happy with my splitter bought it new 5 years ago..

Facebook is a horrible company. I deleted my account over a year ago.. Etsy is ok they have many fees but you can put a link to your website on the platform.

Very nice..

Very Nice.

#10 Duck waxed canvas, Kodiak leather and English Bridle from Wickett & Craig. I used a CB4500 to sew up the bag 277 thread. The Consew 225 was used for binding the inside of the bag.

I take pride in my work. I use high quality materials that are made in America. All my leather and canvas work is custom made with the highest quality materials I can find. If people want to buy mass produced garbage from China and Amazon that is fine.

Everything I sell is made to order 1 to 3 weeks. I am not going to put many items on etsy anymore just a couple of my canvas bags. I have pretty good luck selling gun belts at the gun shows in IL when I have time to get a table. The problem is we live in a Amazon & Kmart world. No one appreciates quality handmade goods.

I have had very good years on esty 2017 when sales dropped off. I am on Instagram & Facebook I get a few sales there. This is just a hobby, I just like to make items out of leather and canvas keeps be out of trouble and the bar. Thanks for the info..

My question is there another platform other then Etsy to sell your leather good. Since Etsy went public and there new CEO from eBay sale are down 95% + more or less wasting my time and money with all their additional fees. I do have a website but I don't get many sales. The problem is all mass-produced items resellers and drop shipping that they allow on there platform. The really sold out the little guy and artisans it is a real shame. Thanks

That is a Very Cool Machine...

Hi SIRENco, Try contacting Tennessee Attachment they make high Quilty binders and other items for sewing machines great company. http://tennattachment.com/index.html

The Consew 225 is an old model it doesn't have reverse. The Consew 225 was a good deal the machine is like new the person never used it. The Consew 206RB-5 is a very nice machine for canvas and light leather work.

Hi NickPol, I have been making waxed canvas bags for quite some time I use a CB4500 with 277 thread. I also have a Consew 225 for the lighter work and mainly binding the inside of some of the bags. I had a Singer 7-34 I called Bob over at Toledo told him I wanted one machine to do leather & canvas work on he set me up with a very good machine. The CB4500 is a great all-round machine in my mind.

Finished the trunk bag for a customer in CA. He sent me a sketch of the bag he wanted made for his bike. Used 8 to 10 oz Show Harness from Wickett & Craig this is great leather for motorcycle bags.

I checked out his knives they are very nice I just ordered one yesterday. Thanks for info...

That is very nice..

I order English Bridle and Show harness from them all the time I haven't had any problems. I do order natural skirting that I use on the back side of my gun belts no problems. If you have an issue with there leather give them a call they should take care of the problem.

Very Nice...

Finished up these fork bags today. Used Wickett & Craig Show Harness. This is some very cool leather when I sew the bags up on my CB-4500 the oil from the leather comes up through the round hole in the foot. This is great leather for motorcycle bag.
