  1. Is there enough room to take a curve from the top of the scratch towards the bottom and the same the other side and then a opposite curve where they meet to make a half round curve for the method of fitting the catch
  2. Please excuse my ignorance, but what is so special about it, to cost so much. obviously i have no interest in knives, but just interested as it looks so basic a design
  3. If you give me your email address i can email the 29k70 manual
  4. So realistic especially the roll over of the end of the petals on the flowers they look great
  5. I have found mine to be a useful tool to have around, the maximum thread i have used is 138 bonded nylon and depending on the stitch length you can get about 4 feet of sewing, far more if as wiz states you use the #69 thread. You are limited to placing each needle as you sew but if you have a scratch line in place it just takes practice to get a good line. You can use a magnetic guide, but i found that with so little area on the stem they do not stay in place that well Good selection of needles available and spare parts try College sewing at https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/store/Singer29K,29USewingMachineParts Good luck
  6. My first bag in Leather and Canvas for the other half, not perfect by any means but seems to have worked out ok, also first time making a lining or putting in a zip in lining, so a lot learnt for next time and even stitching was reasonable as only have a Singer 29K53 using 138 thread, waxed canvas and pull up 1.2 mm leather
  7. Rocky They are sold in England on ebay by a company that states it sells worldwide so may be worth contacting them if not the maker https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Segma-Snaps/132545698214?hash=item1edc56d9a6&enc=AQADAAACsFjVrDbVsZ8oH%2F8PNHtt9VX4%2Fw7FZcmMuqsX8uaFEduVgV9evZXTfctDtLW1CJDtkPxI1iPg0kBzfaToNUhRhEGBgYhvno76iqPREkBUXdzf7HUNTXFVAc1h3pJROGo0UBNj3toloer2tBt10leXzkk1JT7x%2F02CXbzd5ihccpbbE2UWtIhhgcnMCQnfyKUZlKrl8JnNBjnNUUP7xHe%2BhStP6hmmeOoNCmfHe3qphI0iD5OR18TLzLCNmlMP5ptOdy7eMezyGgp3ttEt5EPwvK7p1ZqNsLfLgoVX20I6mpdjeIsANpmQMmEXwG58pPyLuh%2BwYIR47o9VcZV%2Fj1x8T%2BdZbig16Z1n8TueygAAuxOPJF2LkgHqvLupqP9dlSDWVJAGOMH7quWuYRzS04cemtRY%2FQYlfDkBAajinKWtnp2g5iW8wWUa6ngnGQ8wQfb%2B6IQKdQdPYFWxSo4jGkPTI2BGYoMJIMWIHogc%2FbMwmphmXYjEFq%2BErirHywW1lmXxj4MZy%2BHPmDT58ZOKDHG6XqRTJDIegExKUpRX%2FyTXEc543VsVTBN8n5QLLoYTXVHmtQr7x6ZpH4fZIIxY3iAOW4fRKnB165gjBvk0k1oLbQrJL5tcpdh3fhyjbBzp7ZRin2YZ%2FuPDEDt0DtCtfsKCx9bWJ0Fd9DLovyf0UJkd8MflOFyWEuXwvPtLNfobvjlBz8oi9L8uaqUkeBU%2BNHLB%2BqjGv%2FGYIB%2FC1Gf2GNiOUz%2F62xBX0AqdhSJMGeG1wqZc9WAuAA1iFrzqua0ejFJy08%2BC6tzB%2BUsV5br88wSXun1UvPajoYiFIxG1XCFdZ%2FwEPNROxspo%2BNbg5tBrXC4QjOhtemOw0zSMjQDbz8TAUpKeTRLTXjTtfV3BKHcA7ql%2FaT0yQHFUns2ZQgYJ8onO3Ac%3D&checksum=132545698214ebeeb5c6967c4cd2bae869b94f51b2e2
  8. I would suggest either a purse or covers for golf club heads, but just a guess https://keystonbros.com/
  9. Made in the USA, France, England, China or any other country is not a sign of quality, manufacturers in all countries make their products for there market be it low, medium or high cost. You cannot quantify quality with a generalization of the country it was made in
  10. It looks like it has been sitting quite a time so may be open to offers
  11. One for sale in UK see https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/264039969208?chn=ps may be a bit overpriced for a discontinued model and limited spares if any
  12. Just noticed the front panel, this does not show how its connected, but it could be made with similar slots on both the center and end of the plank as well as on both ends and center of the main box shape, but with slot down holes and similar to push it over the lugs (on the main box two hook type lugs per end and to small slots on the top board) and pull down Hope that makes sense
  13. Great design and lateral thinking, you should sell them as flat packs
  14. A inside layer of thin goat veg tan stuck to both parts of the tear and then closely sewn around the goat outside edge as well as close to the tear may work, the black thread would not be glaring out and if both edges of the tear at glued close together on the goat veg should be near invisible if done well
  15. ??????????????? Nakajima looks the same as Consew, wrong link
  16. Have you tried to give the burnt area's a stiff brush after laser and before you NFO so you remove any loose burnt particles,which may be there to be absorbed by the NFO and effect the next layer of dressing
  17. Attachments pins for temp holding leather https://kevinlee.global/products/attachment-pins?variant=24931495149668
  18. Here is a video on the Singer 45 by Harry Rogers https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=singer+45+%2Bharry+rogers&newwindow=1&sa=G&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=_gZDwI6JIzARfM%3A%2CnUFpmlKR8VxWFM%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kT40EuZdw1FForURuOZ6Nrj6xJWWQ&ved=2ahUKEwiaiYfepZ7iAhXJSBUIHWIBCLUQ9QEwEHoECAgQDA#imgrc=_gZDwI6JIzARfM:
  19. You really need to consider the strength required of the sewing for example V69 bonded nylon is probably the thickest thread used for sewing your leather settee together with all the bouncing around children and adults do on them Often its the leather that parts before the thread breaks, it would be helpful if you could give some suggestion as to what the garment would be so advice can be given on both the thread and machine type 1mm thread is often used by hand sewing as it stands out and is part of the design appearance rather than strength
  20. Hi Welcome to the forum You may find this link helpful https://www.tolindsewmach.com/thread-chart.html What are you trying to sew and what machine will you use, as all machines are built for a set thread size and maybe a touch more, i am not sure but dont think anyone will sew 1mm waxed thread apart from some very special and probably very old machines
  21. On the other hand the US companies have always given us brits a bit of a rip off price, selling something made in US for say $100 and charge us in the UK £100-110, Taxes and shipping dont make up the difference alone, companies like Apple do it all the time yet goods are made in China, so prices should be the same
  22. Try here https://www.hobkirk.co.uk/88x1-industrial-needles
  23. Just seen the new list of potential 25% tariffs issued by the USA yesterday, seems to virtually encompass every thing China makes including leather and leather goods https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/enforcement/301Investigations/May_2019_Proposed_Modification.pdf
  24. Hi I think i was looking more at how you start to reactivate the old crinkled leather that may be breaking up at the edges, rather than just adding say NFO or balm plus more good commercial refreshers than home made
