That’s a good idea. I’ve looked at their sites, but haven’t actually asked them if it’s something they can order.

Hi there, I love the hardware on this old leather bag I have, but have not been able to find anything similar. Antique drawer pulls were too long, Chicago screws are too small. I'm looking for this size, about 15/16" across, to use as the closure to some new handbags. Any ideas of where I might find this or something similar? It seems like all hardware companies have the same stock.

Tips needed for machine sewing curves in 4-5 oz leather
Cami replied to Cami's topic in How Do I Do That?
Thanks for the tips! I’ll experiment with my foot tension today. I’ve also occasionally had missed stitches, so I’ll pay more attention to needle position when turning my piece. Brian, you’re right, pictures would help. I’ll post some if I’m still struggling. -
Tips needed for machine sewing curves in 4-5 oz leather
Cami replied to Cami's topic in How Do I Do That?
Hi JD62, I’m sewing two layers together. Each layer is 4-5 oz. I’m using a Consew 227R which has a post bed and can be slowed down to one stitch at a time. -
Hi, I’m struggling with machine sewing rounded corners for a bag on thick leather, 4-5 oz. I glued securely before stitching, but am still having problems with the material shifting around the curves. I’m sewing a flat front and back panel to a side strip. Do I need to wet the leather and mold it first? Also, any tips for avoiding marks from my clamps and presser feet? I’d appreciate any help.
