    Hi All.

    I've got a new Heavy Duty Leather Stitcher for sale. It is a Sewline-SL5-1. It is the same machine as the GA5-1 only sold under another name. I purchased this machine for a freind who thought they wanted to get into the leather business. As it turns out, they changed their mind shortly after I ordered it. Needless to say, I''m pretty much stuck with it now. So it must go.. Asking 1200.00 ( Includes shipping via UPS in 3 seperate "original" boxes).

    BTW - I've taken this machine out of the boxes and put it together. It runs GREAT and is suitable for a variety of leathercrafts as well as webbing, biothane etc. Would make a nice starter machine, or a good second machine just to have for sewing other materials.

    Anyway, Here are the spec's on it. Features:

    * Heavy Duty Single Needle Lockstitch

    * Cylinder Bed

    * Extra Large Oscillating Shuttle Hook

    * Suitable for Stitching Hollow, Tubular and Curved Articles

    * For Sewing Medium To Heavy Materials Including Vinyl, Leather, Canvas, Saddling, etc.

    * Perfect Machine for Heavier Applications

    * 1/2 Inch Presser Foot Lift

    * All New Special Cylinder-Bed Table

    * New 110 Volt Industrial Motor

    * All New Accessories

    * Manual

    Included is an edge guide as well as several packages of needles in various sizes.

    Hello,

    sorry to hear about your husband, and I hope he makes a quick recovery.

    The item that I am interested in is the assorted rhinestones. What sizes, and colors do you have? I am looking for a bunch of 3-4mm clear, but I will consider other sizes/colors. I have been looking for some for my Halloween costume.

    Just let me know. Thanks.

    Hi There,

    Thanks, I'll consider the skiver sold :-) As to the large scraps... I'll take some pictures of what I have. To be honest I really dont have a clue what the stuff is worth so with that in mind, just shoot me a offer for it. What you think is fair. Let me get the pic's up first though to be sure its what you are looking for :-)

    Thanks,

    Cheryl

    Could you tell me a little more on the harness leather. What length is the strap and how much of the 5/8 and 3/4 is there? What are the dimensions and lenght of the reins? What weight is it?

    Thank you and I pray for your husbands recovery,

    CW

    Hi CW,

    Thank you for your prayers! The leather is from weaver leather and it is Chahin light Russet Harness leather. Its 12+ oz. It was one of the heavier weight hide's I've received from them.

    there are 8 rein sets that were cut by weaver. They are 5/8" wide by 7-8ft long. (none shorter than 7ft) There are 4 sets that are right at 9ft long as well.

    Of the chahin Harness there are a few golden brown sets. These are also 12" oz. There is one that is 5/8" x 7ft and there are 3 sets that are 3/4" x 7ft.

    I have a HUGE box of the same 12+ oz leathers that are in shorter lengths ranging from 2 - 6ft in length.

    All the leather is finished on the back side as well. They have not been edged or the ends punched.

    Let me know if you would like some pictures...

    Thanks again,

    cheryl

    I have a Juki LU 1508-NH I would like to sell. It has been used lightly for less than a year. It will sew leather up to 3/8", webbing, canvas, tarps and more.. It comes complete with the machine, a stand with built in light. Parts book, user manual, x-tra bobbins, thread etc. etc. etc.

    I paid over 2600.00 for this machine less than a year ago, I'm asking $1800 OBO

    I cannot ship this, so buyer must pick it up. Its a very heavy machine.

    If interested or have questions, please send me an email cryan2003@gmail.com or message me.

    Thanks for your interest.

    Edited to add:

    Please forgive the crude, makeshift sewing guage in the pic's, its worked great for me though.. LOL

    Hi Shirley T

    Thanks. The leather I used to make the bridle is Herman Oak Heavy Harness. Its roughly 13/15 oz. Its probably to heavy for bridles and such and more suitable for reins.

    Cheryl

    I've got a request to make a headstall, not our typical endeavor...yours is inspiring! What weight/type leather did you use? And Bruce - pardon the ignorance but where could I find info/diagram on the knot you described? Thanks, y'all.

  24. Posted · Report reply

    Thanks Bruce!! I'll definately skive the turnbacks on this as I agree with them being to thick and its a visual thing for me too. I was gonna try to do the bleed knot but wasn't sure how to do it. I played with one on a another concho, but it didnt turn out right so I leavt it until I got it figured out!. Thanks for describing how to do it! BTW - I hand rubbed the edges on this after I used the #2 edger on top & bottom. Do you normally hand rub edges on bridles to? The reins came out great after hand rubbing.

    Thanks

    Cheryl

    KK,

    Overall it looks very good. I see a few things I would do a little differently next time. First off I would skive the turnbacks under the cheek buckles a little to thin that area down and lay a little smoother to the horse. I would round or point the strap ends rather than the square cut. Kind of a visual thing. Finally I would bleed knot those concho laces rather than the square knot. Those square knot ends will flip and flap, and might get into an eye if it hangs that way. A bleed knot will hang straight down and not flop as much. The color looks good, stitching nice, and edges look nice too.
