Also, now that I think about it, I mind as well also ask…I had bought the 8-9 ounces for making leather straps for tote bags. Do you think the 7.5 ounces will still be okay?

Hey Everyone! I wasn’t sure where to post this question, but I thought if there are any suppliers reading this, maybe you can chime in as well… I bought some really nice and expensive vegetable tanned leather ($300 each hide) from a highly reputable tannery here in the US. (I don’t want to call them out on here.) My question is, I ordered 3 hides from them in 8-9 oz. I was disappointed as most of the leather was 7.5oz (I can live with it but it’s not what I expected) and one of them had ALOT of bumpy lines in it….over half the hide. I complained and sent them the attached pic and video of the bumpy leather but they said that it’s still considered top quality and that it won’t be as not noticeable once I make products out of it. (Unfortunately I had already cut the very side of the hide to start making straps so I couldn’t return it but they initially said they could maybe give me a refund to be used on a future purchase…which I’d be fine with as it was my fault for not looking closely when I first opened it up). They however have since ghosted me. I can’t believe this is really grade A as I’ve ordered many hides and have never had this issue. I’m including the video I sent to them. Is this really normal for grade A hides? I feel at a loss and highly disappointed. Id like to reorder but don’t want to run into the same problem in the future. IMG_6327.mov

Hi are these still available? Thank you,

Hi, Is this for a simple foldover wallet with a crosspiece of leather to tuck the top flap into? If so, how much for the set? Thank you, Lori

Hi Ferg, I'm interested in what dies you have available. I'm looking for small bag, belt, strap connecting pieces, wallet, etc. Thank you! Lori

Do you have any clicker dies available? For wallets, bags or belts? Thank you, Lori

Got it, thanks!

Thank you RockyAussie. This sounds like a good test to try. Just for clarification, when you say “5 turns”, do you mean a full 5 turns? Versus half a turn, etc…

Hello, Does anyone know how to do a bobbin tension test on a cobra class 26 sewing machine since you can’t take the bobbin apparatus out (that I’m aware of…)? thank you,
