OK quick question as you can tell I know nothing about sewing so is Bobbin thread different then top thread or can I use the same for both.?

Perfect thank you so much now I can get this stuff and try my machine. It was so confusing looking at all the different sizes.

Singer 99 sewing leather 3 to 4 oz 1 needle 1 thread size bobbin thread

I really hope you buy a GlowForge You say we who don't own one should not talk about them.Did you ever think that we did the research and talked to people that know about lasers and know that they arn't all that great. Of course the people that own them will say their great. Their not going to tell you how slow they are, How they have to wait when they shut down cause they over heated, How you have to pay top dollar to get the materials that have the coding to run the preprogrammed files.How when their internet goes down they can't work anymore, and if the company shuts down they have a paper weight. So please buy the Glowforge, so we can all say TOLD YA SO

anyone have a pic of what its suppose to look like or how to fix it. do you think the machine will sew like this. I hat to try and mess s Awesome thanx, I'll see if I can sew with it. I need to get some thread and bobbin thread first tho. Off to the store tomorrow if I can find a store that sells this stuff

I pressed it several times the spring doesn't move at all I'll take it out later after dinner and see if I can figure how it goes

If you saw the one I did in fake snakeskin, I just brought the flap piece over the bend and stopped. I could do it that way ,but I really would like to cover the whole sheath, looks better I think.

I'll see how that works thnx for the reply

Well my Singer came today and I'm not sure things are right. please look at the picture. To the right of the bobbin theres some red fuzzy stuff and what looks like a piece of spring steel. Does this look right to those who know this machine?

Brings tears to my eyes when people do good deeds. Beautiful job too.

I'm wondering if I cut the skin a little long and used a glue that didn't set so fast it if would slide back when I folded the flap over then clamp in place till glue set up

I didn't put anything on it for a finish. Preforming might work but will be very difficult to due. Skin is very thin and as soon as it touches the contact cement you can't move it with out tearing it, so getting it perfect the first time is essential Right the skin didn't stretch I thought it would

I glued a snake skin to a piece veg tan on a knife sheath and when I folded over the flap the skin pulled apart. This is supposedly real snake skin. Is this normal. any Ideas on how to fix it, or maybe stop it from happening in the first place?

I just turned my ad blocker off for this site. If it helps the site I'll leave ads on if it doesn't make any difference to the site I'll turn them off again.

Great lookin wallet

photo buckets gone and so are your pictures exactly why we ask you to post photos here and not on the web. yes its an old thread but new people look at tall the stuff from the past

sounds logical

I notice all the cigar case's I've seen have the slide on top and not a snap closure, any particular reason for this?

thats really disheartening news as I bought one on the advice of someone else on this forum that said it worked just fine.

I don't make a lot of stuff mostly knife sheaths and holsters wallets and the like. Use 6 to 8 oz veg and 5 to 6 Oil or chrome . I plan to upgrade the 99 with a 1.5 amp motor and the larger fly wheel. Do you think I'll be happy with this machine?

I've used stain for dying leather works well and comes in any color you want

Hey its a beautiful Holster and the stitching looks fine.I'm in the same boat. I got a singer99 coming should be here in a few days. Never even saw a sewing machine close up. So I guess I'll be lookin at videos to learn also. The scary thing to me is getting the dam thing threaded, looks pretty complicated. In this hole around that thing down under this and wrap around that then then thru this hole bla bla bla YIKES

OMG he's Joking I like det cord OL
