    Thank you all!

    Thank you all ..... re. the pattern, I took a look at several passport wallets, measured up the passport itself, and came up with this particular pattern .... so I guess you could say, it’s mine. Fairly basic wallet construction......

    Hello All .... My son is going to Scotland for a semester abroad, and since I’d never done a passport wallet, I made a prototype that he’ll get .... Wickett & Craig Harness in Buck Brown .... machine stitched with 92 poly thread. Passport holding pocket, two pockets for cards, and a hidden pocket for cash.

    Thanks all .... and yes, I stitch on a machine.... a Juki 1508 to be specific .... my mom taught me to sew when I was 12 I do a small amount of hand stitching, and I admire and respect those that hand stitch exclusively

    Hello All .... This is my take on the ever popular “Dopp” kit. I get about 6-12 order a year for these .... this one is made out of a nice, soft veg tan chap leather, trimmed with some chromexcel. YKK zipper ...

    Hello All .....Our cow vet here on the ranch is an avid fly fisherman, so as a thanks for all he does, I made him a fly wallet. Here are a couple more I made as well. One is chromexcel, and one is Wicket & Craig Harness. Pretty simple .... nothing fancy.

    I’ll take one as well .... beautiful!

    Thanks all ..... I have a call into Bob at Toledo Sewing .....

    Thanks. I always hear the click on the top thread check spring ..... I’ll get new bobbins .... thanks again!
  14. dfrensdorff
    Do I have the wrong bobbins? Most of the time this machine stitches flawlessly ... thanks for your reply!

    Can one of you experts tell me why this is happening in my bobbin case. I hold thread tight when starting the stitch .... and sometimes this happens mid-stitch as it did in the photo .....Thanks for any and all advice.

    I’m interested if you still have it. I have a brother in San Diego and can pick up easily. Let me know please. Thanks ....

    Medion...... I do have the smooth presser door and walking foot as well. I do recommend you get those, or sand/carefully grind what you have. They are relatively inexpensive from Toledo Sewing. Even so, you still may get some foot marks, but in my experience, nothing that a bone creaser can’t smooth out. Keep messing with your foot pressure.

    I have the exact model Juki, and sew everything from wallets & belts to chaps, chinks, and Dopp kits. I also go from waxed canvas to leather with minor adjustments. 92 thread is what I use most for wallets, but it is easy to go from 92-138 thread. As you know, you’ve got a great machine there. Get needles from Bob at Toledo ..... good luck!

    Nice work!!

    Here is a pic of the inside ..... we can get too caught up with the lining and waterproof and spills. At the end of the day, it’s “patina”...... and the “spill” or small stain, may have a memory involved.... just my $.02
  24. dfrensdorff
    Approximately 10”x6”x6”
  25. dfrensdorff
    Thank you. It is machine stitched, and there is no lining ..... just the flesh side of the leather. I have in the past put on a bees wax conditioner on the flesh side to water/spill proof it somewhat. I’ll try to get a pic on the inside.
