Machine Sewing and edging holsters

[Shorts]

Well you learn something new every day. Good info on the edgers guys

[LarryDonaldson]

Thanks for all the information, exactly what I was needing. When I did generic searches I didn't come up with as near as good results and looked thru 100's to get that. The edger information was great.

One of the little tricks to using the search function is quotation marks. There's a little primer about 'wildcards' in the advanced search box and it's worth reading too.

If you search for [ holster edges ] you end up with a 24 page list...limited to the 1st 1000.

If you search for [ "holster edges" ] you get 4 topics.

similarly, [ edging holsters ] gets 6 pages

[ "edging holsters" ] gets 2 topics

It all has to do with how you tell the computer to search for things. Un-"quote tagged" words looks for both words. "Quote tagged" searches means look for word 1 followed by word 2......in a very basic sense. I know there's more to it, but I can't discuss computer code as well as some of our members, so I defer to them.

I somehow missed this earlier, so I'll take the opportunity now to say "Welcome to Leatherworker.net"

To add to what Mike said, "Search" works the same on Google, too.

Welcome to LW!

Thanks for that info on the searches, that will come in very handy.

I've been known to jump a few posters in other forums too, but don't you think we should give people a chance when they have so few posts. They might be new to this world of computers and high tech. I know it took me a while to figure this out...when I was in school we still had typewriters.

Just my .02

I agree. I had the very same questions and honestly I am not sure if I posted it in the correct section but what should that matter right. I have had some very ridiculous comments on other forms which were a VERY BIG TURN OFF to the forum and one I finally asked that my account be deleted. This forum has been great and we need not criticize each other for little things just answer posts no matters were they were posted. A good suggestion to overly sensitive posters is to try the new post link at the top of the homepage and just read and comment on the posts not paying so much attention to what section they came from.

UNLIKE EVERY OTHER FORUM ON THE INTERNET....

There are no dumb questions on this Forum. We have all sorts here, from 50 year professionals to "I just started today". There are very few questions or topics that go very long without a comment.

We also encourage vendors to advertise and keep us informed. So...I doubt that any of them feel the need to create "sock puppets".

Coming on this board for the first few times can be intimidating to a lot of people. There really is that much stuff here. Without being a search expert, the simplest way is to open the Topic Category of choice, and start reading..i.e. Sewing Leather.

As for Cobra products, the best part about buying from them is Steve, himself. Call him.

Some people groove first, even with a modern machine that sews tight, anyways. This becomes up to you, and your desired finished look.

For edgers, you can buy from Tandy, and Osborne, alll the way up to one of the ones made by our valued toolmakers. Price is always a concern, and you do get what you pay for, but that being said, starting off with the standard fare is not a bad way to go, and as you improve, improve your tools.

What's a dumb question?
