Really? That's the same setup I made mine out of and it seems way too thick. But I sold it right away and didn't get to break it in or anything. Can you post some pics of what yours look like???

That's true! I read about using pigskin, but what I read was its hard to work with?? Like the sewing process. I may pick some up and see if I like it. Can I carve on it if it's veg tan still or is it too thin to take the cut and impressions? I appreciate the info!!

So ive read a few different forums and I tried to make a wallet, i used 4oz veg tan cowhide for the outside, then 2oz cowhide for the interior of the wallet. It may be just me, but i think the wallet is way to thick and stiff. Does anyone have any recommendations on lining leather???

Nice! Thank you man, I appreciate it!

Where can I find this just google it? Or is it a book??

Hi guys, my brother wants me to make a couple of beer coozies for his company. I'm not too sure how I would make one, I'm almost positive that I couldn't use a machine to put it together so I'm assuming I'll have to hand stitch it. Any ideas on patterns??

I have a buddy with the same machine back east and I have it threaded right and I figured out the stitch spacing. The rod that the foot is connected to wasn't aligned. It stitched decent I'll try it some more when I get home I appreciate the input !

Yeah the tension on the bottom seems loose. I got it to sew a little but the loop is really loose on top. And now I'm trying to space the stitches a little more cause the leather ripped apart from the stitches being so close, but if I move the wing nut all the way to the left the foot won't move the material...ugh

Thanks! I tried, but no responses

First of I'm new to the forums, my name is Jordan and I just started getting into leather craft like a month or two ago. I originally wanted to make motorcycle seats but the more I've been messing around I've been wanting to make different things! that being said, I just bought a super clean singer 29-4. I ordered some #69 bonded nylon and it finally came in today. I've been trying to mess around and get the machine to sew in some 2-4oz vegtan single layer but the thread will go in the first hole then just lay across the rest of the holes. I read somewhere that if it does that the tension is too loose, but the shuttle is as tight as it will go and if I tighten the disks anymore the thread stops. But when I try to sew denim it sews almost perfect. Am I missing something??? I'd appreciate any help or info! Thank you! Quote
