Is anyone willing to email me a copy of Tandy's Passport cover pattern. The one that looks like a compass? I purchased the kit a while ago, was divorced and now I can't seem to find the pattern, but I do have the kit. Thanks, Kris

Take a look at www.squareup.com You have to have a smartphone for it to work. I haven't tried it personally, but it got good reviews. I am thinking about using it for craftshows. I wonder if anyone else has tried it before. 2.75% per swipe and no monthly fees is what is advertised on their website. There was a big write up on it someplace, but i can't seem to find it. Maybe consumers reports or some other legit tech website. Kris

does anyone have a manual for this that they could copy & email or mail to me. I would be willing to pay for it. This is my 1st industial machine and need some instructions on cleaning, threading etc. I bought it to make badge backers and some other misc. leather items, probably some K-9 equipment too. Thanks in advance, Kris

I found this website. I was wondering if anyone has used them before?It appears as if they rent some pretty neat DVD's. I could use this asa try before I buy type of thing. It appears to be like Netflix but isfor craft/hobby type dvd's only. http://smartflix.com Please advise? Thanks, Kris

Everybody has been very helpful so far. But I have yet another question. Does anyone have any expierience with the JUKI DU-1181N or DDL-8700L? I will be sewing up to layers 8/9oz and 1 layer 5/6 or 2 layers 10/11 oz leather. I like the Idea of both the walking foot & bottom feed on the DU-1181N. DDL-8700L JUKI 1181n Thanks, Kris

All, thanks for your help. I guess I'll keep hunting the auction/used market for that $200 steal someplace.

Does anyone have any expireince with this machine? I want use it for general tooling leather sewing and 3-4 layers of 7/8 oz leather. I like the Idea that it is hand operated (but can upgrade to electric), that would let me control the speed and positioning a bit better. Any thoughts?

Check with Rev's Armour Werx 713-825-4754 They have a model 43-4 for about $700 delivered. They have a website but I can't remember what it is. Kris

I need advise on a Singer Automatic Swing Needle Machine 306.. Does anyone know if this machine will handle sewing two 8 oz layers of leather together?

I could make a pattern that I like but unfortunately I don't own an Ipod or anything like it.

I want to make an Ipod Nano case for a friend as a gift. The problem is that I don't have one to ust as a model. Doeas anyone have a pattern / template that they would be willing to share? Thanks in advance, Kris

I found this link and I am not sure whaere to put it. It is a tutorial on how to make a leather nootbook holder. http://www.songofthepaddle.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5847 Kris

Simply outstanding. I really like the design.

What you described is kinda what I'm looking to do with a machince. Also to sew together 1 7/8oz + 4-6oz + pigskin lining and a piece of clear heavy shower curtain type vynle. Thanks, Kris

Does anyone have any experience with the harbor freight industrial sewing machines? I was thinking for a beginner that doesn't have a lot of money it might be worth it. Thanks, Kris

I am looking for a wholesale source. I have looked in Ohio Travel Bag's catalog. It looks like they only carry tiny purse type chains. I think Home depot only carrys the Zinc plated stuff. I am looking for chrome plated or raw so I can have it plated myself by a local plater. Thanks

I was wondering if anyone knows of a source for plated choker style machine chain like those used in dog coller chokers. I want it bulk by the foot. Thanks, Kris
