AWesome thank you for the info! I’m wanting to do the background in black using the eco flo dye but wasn’t sure if using the eco flo tan dye after the black has dried, will have the colors mix. Which is why I was thinking using a resister like super shene on the piece before i add the tan dye would help it out. I’m thinking i need to return this eco flo tan and get me a bottle of antique by the sounds of it.

How’s it goin everyone! Here with another question! I’m working on a piece that I’m goin to inlay black for the background and want to stain the rest of the piece in tan. This past weekend I bought eco flo dyes in black and in tan. Not sure if I picked up the right stuff or not. What I was thinking was doing the inlay/background in black with a small paint brush, apply a couple coats of super shene as a resister then adding the tan dye to the rest of the piece. Now would this work, Or do I need to return the tan dye and pick me up some sort of stain vs the tan dye??? Below is what I’m workin on...

Awesome thank you guys for the info! I was thinking of hand stitching the belts and wallets before I buy a machine. As I'm just starting out, I would like to learn how the art of hand stitching before jumping on a machine. Any recommendations on thread size for belts and wallets?

How's it goin' everyone! I'm a newbie here and just recently found this sight a couple weeks ago. I've always wanted to get into leather craft a few years back and just recently bought me some stamps! I'm mainly looking to make belts, knife sheaths and the occasional wallet. When it comes to sewing machines I am lost! What type of sewing machine do I need for these types of projects? anything that I can buy at the store and readily available? Or do the older/vintage machines do better for these types of projects? Any info is greatly appreciated!
