Thanks very much for the reply guys, I can see where I need to change up on a few things, being careful with my edges and making those triangles a bit more uniform and cut more of them. It is possible to hand skive suede at all, or it is that really a no go area? Thanks again guys, great help

Hi there guys, Just had a quick question about folding suede for a nice edge. I've had a quick look around and I can't seem to find any information on better/proper ways to fold edges over before stitching a piece of leather on top. I've attached two images of some bracers I'm working on with a suede liner, now I wanted to fold to suede over on the edges and glue/stitch the leather on top for a nice clean edge but I'm having trouble folding it around the curves and corners. Is there a 'proper' way to cut/fold the suede to get it around those curves, as it doesn't seem to stretch a huge amount. The white card is the template for the leather to go on top. Thanks for your time! -David

Singer 135K103 Slim Jim Foot
Leathersaurus replied to Leathersaurus's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Many thanks for the information Constabulary! Certainly a help. -
Bit of a shot in the dark but I was wondering if anyone knew where to find a smaller slim jim type foot for the singer 135K103? I've had a look around and there doesn't seem to be much beyond the standard foot and a piping foot I managed to pick up. Both are great but sometimes are a bit big for smaller projects or projects with narrow edges. I believe there might be compatible feet for the 103 but I'm not sure what model/make they would be. Thanks for the help!

Hey all, I just wanted to say Hello and introduce myself, names David and I've been playing with leather crafting on and off for a year or so but recently I started getting into it a bit more and tried my hand at a few paid projects, really enjoyed them. I'm not sure why I waited so long to join an online community like this one, there is so much amazing work on here and seriously great way to learn and engage I have a few project images on my tumblr leathersaurus.tumblr.com Id like to devote more time to leather working but being an Illustrator and a landlord my time is fairly limited, however hopefully in the future I can set more time aside! -David
