I think I will not stitch all the way to the edge next time, it was annoying to try and match the stitching. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saddle stitched something like 4 belts & told myself I am getting a sewing machine or, my hand sewn belts need to go up in price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brokenolmarine Report post Posted 6 hours ago I bought the templates for that pattern and will probably use them soon. I have a machine to sew those. I hand stitch things I'm not confident I can use the machine on, which is about 2/3 of the things I'm making right now. I need to sit at the machine and sew scraps to get better at it. BTW, that belt looks awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lmao I am glad I had about 8 years of scrap saved back for practicing. Lol Edited 5 hours ago by DieselTech Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brokenolmarine Report post Posted 2 hours ago I have a Cobra 3200. I learned to sew YEARS ago from my mother when I was a pre-teen and it served me well over the years, but it was on a VERY basic singer straight stitch machine from sears. Forward/Reverse, zig/zag. The kind you sewed hems with and repaired tears. She sewed dresses for my little sister from those patterns from the five and dime. Luckily my wife is VERY talented and taught me a lot more when I got the machine. She sometimes uses it to repair harnesses and bridles for friends. She sewed a custom designed lifting harness for a friend to use in his hay business to weigh round bales to insure they were the correct weight for the farmers. 1100 to 1200 pounds. They made the harness from Jerk straps you use to pull cars out of the ditch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
