Nigel Armitage dropped a new three hour series on saddle stitching last week. It was really interesting so I gave it a try and it does work. To get a good bump on both front and back he suggests a cast on the front and a tug on the back. Here is my first try. For the front, the thread is driven high by the cast. While for the back, the thread is pulled low by a simple tug. I suggest you view the new videos. They are listed as saddle stitch - modern style by Nigel Armitage. I know someone posted on this forum that everything about hand stitching can be learned in 10 minutes, but that is not true.

The technique is called block dying. Here is a video showing the process.

In this case, this was a business. In your words "she had a client do a pick up earlier this month." This was a customer invited into her place of business to pick up merchandise. Same as a grocery store. The woman was invited in by being asked to do a pick up.

I am not sure I understand this correctly. Are you saying that if you walk into the local grocery store that you are trespassing?

They work well for the gussets on bags. -
help: how to add colour with laser engraving
GatoGordo replied to studiocroco's topic in 3D Printers and Lasers
Here is a better video showing the laser engraving and the use of gold leaf. This video is by a member of this forum. Perhaps he will step in and comment. -

You can use gold leaf as shown in this video. Use the laser to print the design, then fill the design with the glue, and finally apply the gold leaf. -
I am curious as to the reasoning behind blue guns being illegal.

I, also, like the spacing, but I think it would look better with a finer thread.

I have to agree with Montana Leather. While, in my experience, they all bleed, they do it to a different degree. While some are barely noticeable, others are more pronounced. Just this week I was making a stock shell holder using a piece of gold suede that I purchased just over three years ago. While sewing my thread turned yellow from the dye!

I did a Google image search to see similar bags with rivets. In my opinion the rivets cheapen the look. They may be appropriate for Harley Davidson but the OP's bag without rivets looks far classier and more refined.

You can download an STL file of the PPK from thingiverse.com. Printing that would be easier than trying to create a wooden form from a picture.

Don Gonzales made a video showing the technique.

I have 3D printed a few guns. The cost is around $2.00 to $2.50 for a Glock 17. Smaller guns will be less, larger guns more.
