Drac Report post Posted March 12, 2008 this one was one big headache from start to finish for some reason. enlarged the soft sides a bit from the first one and added a liner. used a background tool on the design to see how that would come out. I like it. now can anyone tell me what's special about the tooled design? heh heh heh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LarryB Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Nice, and interesting pattern... but I don't see what is special about the tooled design. Let a few others see it before you tell but I'll be waiting for the answer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSwede Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Nice one brudda! That leather on the side looks so soft and nice. Really short of imagination right now but think I can see a happy figure on the top design or perhaps you just spelled dye wrong? I second Larry, wait with the revealing. I'll go and sleep a bit between. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drac Report post Posted March 12, 2008 tom the side leather is garment leather from tandy. I like the look and feel of the garment leather they were getting a bit better, but this new stuff isn't bad and it seems to sew a bit better on my kenmore. and see banwell's post for the word. tangent the tooled side is 25 1/2" long. the first one of these I made I used half of an 8" diameter circle and 7" straight sides (leading up from the diamter of the circle. that make any sense?), but with this one I used half of a 9" circle instead with the 7" straight sides since on the first one the soft sides were pulled a little tight. think I'm gonna try 8 1/2" on the next one. banwell congrats! you win a no-prize! (extra credit if ya can tell me where that's from. heh heh heh) roo tell me about it! it's the fiebing's "ox blood". I was expecting it to be more of a dark blood red when I first saw it. glad they showed in the store first! decided it would be good though on some things. wow, me, doing colors. who'd athunk it?

Spider Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Good looking bag bro. I like it. So what Kenmore you have? I am thing of getting a Boss but want to know if it's worth the $$$ mula. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drac Report post Posted March 12, 2008 the kenmore is a model 385.15108200. it'll do 3-4 layers of garment leather without much of a prob and I've done 2 oz leather with a layer of garment without any real probs. it's what I used on the 2 wallets until I got to the piece that goes around the edge. I like my boss for the most part. it does have a few quirks ya gotta get used to, but I'm mostly happy with mine. if I coulda found a powered machine that would do what the boss does for less than 1500, I probably woulda gone for it though just for the time it would save me and having 2 hands free. and a reverse would be nice too for backstitching. *L* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
