Very nice work. Can you tell me how you did the name stamping against the dyed leater.

Hi Steven,

Beautiful work. Can you tell me the thread type and size you are using, and where you purchase it? Also, what is the thickness of leather you are using?

I'm still new to leather work.

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi,

I am just starting to learn how to sew and recently purchased a Singer 29-4 Patcher. I have a few questions:

1. Today I learned that a 29-4 is not the same as a 29K4. Is this accurate?

2. It isn't easy to find replacement parts for the 29-4 vs. the 29K4. Part for the 29K4 are still being manufactured. Is this correct?

3. I haven't sown with my machine yet. I need to purchase Thread. www.horsenhaeness.com recommends #138 thread with #69 for the bobbin. Will be learning to sew jacket patches and thin leather projects. Would anyone else agree with this recommendation?

4. Any recommendations for using the machine would be appreciated. Machine is in good condition.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi bigorange,

It's nice to hear from you. Here is a pics of my Singer 29-4. I'm just starting in leather work and sewing so I don't have anything to show you yet.

I'd love to see your work.

Hi, my name is Anthony and I live in New Jersey. I am new to sewing and just got myself a Singer 29-4. I think in was made in 1916. I joined the group to have a resource to find help on learning how to maintain and use the machine. Interested in leather work although I know the machine is not necevssarily the best to work with leather because the presser foot will mark the leather. Any advice would be helpful. Remember, never sewed a stitch in my life.
