  1. Selling my stuff

    in Getting Started

    Posted

    I think someone mentioned  " consignment  shops  and K C should have some . Just know the local ones here want a percentage of the sale and if your stuff don't sell and you pull it , they still want a small fee .

    Word of mouth , which is slower is what I get work from .  Good luck to you !

    What have others found works best for cutting out leather projects as far as simplest and fastest? I have tried the round knife but not a fan. I mostly use a knife I purchased from Tandy that holds utility knife blades.

    Check out Sam Andrews on youtube .  Andrews leather I think . You will think he is nuts the first time you see him cutting , at least I did . Now that is the only way I cut  but I use something like an exacto knife with # 11 blade .......... works real well for me !!

     

     9/10 oz is the thickest I cut though

    Does the 362 'diamond' shape look better than the 361 'square' shape? Personal preference obviously, but what do youse think?

    Edit; PS, I've found larger versions of these stamps in Sergey's catalogue. They are 361B, 362B,  and 362BB

     

    I like the diamond shape better but as you say " personal preference " . For what I am wanting 3/8 (10mm ) is plenty big enough .

    if your going to be doing a lot of quilting i would suggest the stamp or stamps,   if not its takes more time but it can easily be done without one. As seen on this thread you need two for square or diamond but by hand you can do any four or three, five cornered quilt pattern without being held to just two more exacting  shapes. 

    I see your reasoning but I may have enough quilting coming to  justify getting a stamp .

  21. Stamp needed

    in Suppliers

    If you are just talking one or two times use , a brooch or woman's lapel pin might get the job done . Most are pretty detailed and made of metal , price would be right .  If you are needing a REAL stamp, I have wasted your time reading this  LOL!
