I myself would use a UV treated polyester thread in 277 or 346 size. I think you can even get it in waxed version.

Nice work.

Use a wax on them canvas tops. The kind to rejuvenate waxed canvas. You might want to have them valued before you go kicking around in them.

Looks great! Nice work.

As somebody mentioned already, try tightening your foot pressure tighter. Want Lil tiny bit i have sewn woven strap material, it seems the foot slips some on the material & misses a stitch. You could be pushing or feeding the project thru instead of letting the machine doing it.. That could have been my problem as well. I think by increasing foot pressure it minimizes the problem.

Looks nice! But here is your weak link!

Nice work. Looks great. Yeah I bet your hands are sore. Outstanding work.

I think rocky mountain leather supply sells a aluminum model edge cutter with a 12" length. It does a 45° & 60° bevel.

Key chains, minimal card wallets, coasters, dog leashes. Bracelets. Dog collars. Every demographic area will change for hot seller products/inventory.

Kangaroo is probably the best, but expensive. I use 2oz vegtan leather for my card pockets.

Soak it in denatured alcohol or acetone then wring it out & let dry. Best advice i can give.

I wanted to share these dies weaver made for me. I thought they were fairly cheap. But I had 4 made at once & they cut me a break on price. They do make nice dies. These at the time we're $68 each.

Don't laugh. I need more space!

Nice work! Looks great. It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

Weaver makes nice clicker dies as well. Reasonable priced too.

Look into Conceria Walpier veg tan. It is some of my favorite leather.

I thin my pro dye 50/50 with denatured alcohol. I do this because of cost & as well to lighten the pro dye. I think pro dye is too dark using it straight from the bottle. I also lay my dyed projects flat on cardboard & put a fan on it for at least 24 hours.

Are you thinning your pro dye 50/50 or using it straight up out of the bottle. Also instead of hanging your project, try laying it flat on some cardboard. Also when you dip dye it takes a good 24hr or longer to fully dry.

Nice work. They both look great. Top notch!

It is best to have the knife. Or a well replicated model of the knife to make a well fitted sheath.

Yeah I got 1 of the vevor's about a year ago. It does everything i need it to do. I also had some custom dies made by weaver & i highly recommend them if ever looking for cutter dies.

Try going over the stitches with a polished leather hammer. Or a polished bone folder.

@Coloradoguy I recommend buying a second blade for your splitter, then you got a blade that can be sent out to be sharpened & you won't be without a splitter blade while 1 is being sharpened.

I think your blade is not quite sharp enough. Plus if the blade is dull & you are taking a big bite/cut you are actually stretching the belt some & resulting thinner/thicker cuts on the sides of the belt.

Welcome to the group. Nice work. It looks great!
