I have successfully used HeatnBond UltraHold Iron-On Adhesive (ordered from Amazon) to glue fabric to leather. You iron the fabric onto the back of the leather. There will be no bleed-through.

When you scan images, you can save them in various file formats. The file extension ".jpeg" (or .jpg), the file format for Joint Photographic Experts Group, has been around a long time (in computer years) and should be around for many more. Some of the file extensions mentioned above are designed for very specific applications and find themselves outdated.

Is there a font for Ivan Alphabet stamp set 8132-00
LatigoAmigo replied to RockyAussie's topic in How Do I Do That?
The amount of shaving needed will vary depending on the letter pairings. This table demonstrates the kerning attributes of various letter pairs, where you can see, for example, that VA uses different spacing (-123 / tighter) than VT (+16 / looser). Hope you find this helpful. -
From an early age, Bruce Grant has been my inspiration.

Just type "Sussex" into the search box on the home page and you should find a few folks from your locale.

Help how to download pics from Android phone

When I email a photo on my IPhone, a dialogue box pops up, allowing me to scale the image to a smaller size. So if you are using an IPhone, it looks like you can shrink the photos by simply sending them to yourself, so there is no need for an app. -
My wife silkscreens onto wet clay, so I'm sure you can silkscreen images onto leather in the same manner.

Sounds fantastic. What software do you design with? -

The deal is only as good as what you make with it, or what you can re-sell it for... but it looks pretty good from here.

Short of removing the rivets and re-riveting the Velcro in place, you might consider stitching small pieces of Velcro between the rivets. Using very light weight cream colored thread. It wouldn't have very many stitches, like 3 or 4, just enough to tack down the Velcro.

I have several Horween hides with backs like that, just part of the tanning process, probably when the hide is stretched out over something with a mesh pattern, like a screen.

Dwight, you are a saint to provide us all with such specific steps to success. For a "drying box" I have found that using the "sweater rack" in our gas clothes dryer works very well.

Maybe you could take a picture so we could see the what kind of leather you have and what the discoloration looks like.

Since you continue to have a relationship with him, just tell him you are not ready for such a project. Your mental health is worth more than any paycheck, and it sounds like you would be suffering more that this project is worth, either to you or to him, so just let it go.

I use various types of conditioners, and don't know which one will work best on your leather, but you can probably figure that out. Cleaners/conditioners like Lexol work pretty good for some leathers, but I always clean my leather with saddle soap before I start a project. Then I will usually condition with a dressing like Montana Pitch-Blend All Natural Leather Dressing or something similar containing bees wax and mink oil. This dressing does, however, have a tendency to darken the leather, so it might not be your first choice. There are many other cleaners and conditioners to choose from, so you might search this site to see what choices others have made.

Hand Sewn Motorcycle Seat with Pleats?
LatigoAmigo replied to doorty's topic in Motorcycles and Biker Gear
What a great find this video is. You'll never wonder "How to Make a Pleated Seat Cover for a Motorcycle" again. Thanks for sharing. -
Very interesting, it looks great. For some fabric options (different materials and weights), you might want to check out Jacquard Inkjet Fabric Systems who carries a variety of fabrics for digital printing: http://www.inkjetfabrics.com/products/digital-fabrics/. As you said, not cheaper, but when lining something like a bag that you hope to sell for top dollar, the lining material can make a difference.
