This is exactly what I want to do cmantz! I realize this is an old post, but are you still embroidering on leather? Any tips or warnings would be greatly appreciated. I already own a commercial Tajima embroidery machine, so I am not looking to get into stamping. I would like to start making personalized gear for our ranch and I already put out the money for one big machine! Did you just leave the edges raw or are they turned under? Your work is lovely!
