Members chestercheeto Posted November 20, 2009 Author Members Report Posted November 20, 2009 Thankyou Deno...but I was just looking for a blank pattern with nothing on it.I did some looking and found this pattern...it's for a football buckle....but it's the blank pattern I wanted for tracing and cutout.Thanks! http://www.tandyleat...=Complex_Link_9 Quote
Members Yona Posted February 12, 2010 Members Report Posted February 12, 2010 Why not trace the pattern on clear acetate....from the buckle blank and add enough for stitching or laceing......been doing it that way since 1971! Then add your pattern....put it over a floral or whatever design align it and trace! Quote

Works with any shape or size of buckle. This style of pattern is called a sloaper, the name comes from dressmaking Quote

Works with any shape or size of buckle. This style of pattern is called a sloaper, the name comes from dressmaking Just noticed that the buckle has holes all round it for lacing, forget what I said about adding a 1/4" round the outside, just trim it to size, rub the gaffa tape with your thumb before peeling it off the buckle, it will leave indentations where the holes are, then go round with a pencil and puncture the tape where each hole is, the holes will close up when you stick it to the paper, but you will still be able to see where they are. Providing you are gentle, and don't stretch the tape when peeling it off, you will have 100% accuracy Quote
