I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you all!
Yes — I’ve spent an entire month collecting and organizing the most common questions about leather hot stamping, and I’ve put together a complete beginner-friendly roadmap to help anyone get started from scratch.

If you’re new to leather crafting or still considering giving hot stamping a try, this preview is something you won’t want to miss!

Over the next 19 weeks, I’ll be breaking down every essential aspect of leather stamping step by step:
From choosing the right tools and materials, mastering basic techniques, to avoiding common mistakes and diving into more advanced tips — one topic per week to guide you on your stamping journey.

Whether you’re picking up a tool for the very first time or looking to level up your leatherwork, this series will help you grow steadily and avoid the trial-and-error struggle.

📌 Feel free to comment below and let me know what you’d love to learn most — I’ll prioritize those topics in future posts.
📬 Weekly updates coming soon, so don’t forget to follow or bookmark this thread — let’s complete this 19-week journey together!

Jinglin was born out of a passion for embossing craftsmanship and a pursuit of personalized customization. In exploring traditional techniques, we discovered that embossing is not just a decorative process, but a form of artistic expression that gives each creation a unique shine and texture. As a result, we are dedicated to creating high-quality embossing machines and custom brass dies to help creators bring their design dreams to life.

Ok, are you peddling a hot stamping machine or what? Stamping in leatherwork is a different process from hot stamping with a machine.  But a 19-week course to run a machine? no thanks. 

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback — and you’re absolutely right, traditional leather stamping and hot stamping are two different techniques.

We actually specialize in hot stamping machines for leatherwork, which use heat and pressure to apply foil or embossed logos. The 19-week content isn’t a machine operation course — it’s a step-by-step beginner-friendly guide to help creators (especially handcrafters) understand the whole process, from material choices to achieving professional-looking results with a machine.

Totally understand if that’s not what you're looking for, but if you're ever curious about adding hot stamping to your craft, we’re here to help!

Good luck!! A couple more questions if you don't mind.

so, are you selling the machines or the stamps? or both? 

Does your course cover the legal and ethical problems of copying or using someone's intellectual property, trademarks, or logos? I see this a lot with the new lasers, printers, and such. Seems folks think because you buy a machine that makes copies and can google, then it's ok to copy or use anyone's work and sell it without permissions.

That is clear as that is what you seem to be pushing, under the guise of 'teaching'.

Essentially, to purchase your machines and use them - i.e. operating your machines.

Instead of pretending to 'teach' a 19 week course (So long to learn to use your machines? That puts one off right away) you would be better off advertising openly on this site instead. 

You did start several threads earlier talking about the same thing in different ways, only it did not talk about 'teaching'.

If you truly want to 'teach' people how to use hot stamping machines, discuss your competitors' products as well, honestly at that. Teach how to use those too.

Then, it might become a teaching course. Else it is just an advertisement pretending to be a course. 

People here are not fools, as I am sure you have realized by now.

Nearly 5 months, that's way to long a time-frame. Why so long?? Why not do a video dump of the course so individuals can review then pick and choose what parts maybe appropriate for them? 

Since your company is in China ( https://jinglinmachine.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoq11e89sz6k-gwr_MvnnFWrXn2mTgNU2aJrJ60DGEhRVdGXQ5W6 ) the cost of your equipment would probably be prohibitive if subject to tariffs for US customers at I believe 145%.

Example:

Your EC-17 with a letter holder would be $600 (assuming USD) subject to tarrifs would cost 600 + 870 (tarrif) = $1470 USD versus a Weaver Foil and Hot stamp machine ( https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/products/foil-and-hot-stamping-machine?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=product_shelf ) would cost $870 USD.
