Catharina

Hi from France! Newbie here too!

Thanks! Lovely video! It is very hard to find folders/binders in France, looking everywhere but no luck yet. No idea where to go to have one made. But maybe prying open a not so expensive one is a good idea. I am in need of a single fold binder, raw edges, not too thick as the webbing is only there to finish the edges of the saddlepad, it shouldn't get too much wear and tear.

That looks like a lovely place to live! Thank you! Trying to learn as much as I can, as long as I can learn, I live! Thank you, I will, love learning and love learning and certainly about sewing machines. Do you make horse rugs? Thank you! Thanks!

Hello Tequila and Northmount, thanks for the welcome! There is so much information out here, will be busy for quite some time, studying!

Hello All, I am Catharina from France, and looking forward to be part of the leatherworkers. I recently bought a Pfaff545 H3 machine (actually, it was a 546, the needlebar got replaced by a single needle one and one bobbin holder taken out. it still has the double tension system for a two needle machine), it got refurbished and is working absolutely fine. I am slowly getting used to it, as I find it a very impressive machine, it goes very fast, compared with my domestic machines. And is incredibly strong (I will have to watch my fingers!) I have a few scraps of leather to try on for the moment, with different needles. And I am waiting for thread to arrive in different colors. I am looking forward to make some handbags, wallets and other stuff, and most of all, I would like to make saddlepads, out of felt and leather, and out of felt and a top layer that will be embroidered for shows etc. These last pads will need to be finished with webbing... and as they will be quite thick, it will need to be 2" webbing. And I am going to need a binder attachment for that. But the binder attachments I have found on internet, will only accept less than 7 mm, or about 1/4"........ is there a heavy duty binder out there somewhere? Please let me know if you of one!
