JLSleather Report post Posted January 25, 2010 Patterns for / of what? Doesn't matter? Tandy has 6 or 8 you can download for free, and there's a million or so "doodle pages" on Ebay for next to nothing. Otherwise, try this ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WyomingSlick Report post Posted January 25, 2010 If you only have one pattern, then that suggest to me that you don't have any instruction books. All instruction books have quite an assortment of patterns that would fill the bill for you. Tandy and Hidecrafter both have many to select from. For the novice I would suggest: Leathercraft Manual by Al Stohman, AD Patten, and JA Wilson Lucky Seven Lucky Eight Craftool Tech tips and then there is a whole library of books by Al Stohlman, all of which are worth many times over their cost. These all turn up on eBay from time to time. Also Doodle Pages and old copies of the leather magazines. Instruction books are faw and away your best investment. What you learn from them will be used time after time, way more than a high priced basketweave stamp. In the Leathercraft Manual, there are a dozed pages devoted to the Swivel Knife alone. This is the book that most 4-H programs use sections from for their leathercraft project books. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonnieBlaze Report post Posted January 30, 2010 I have ton's of different patterns waht would you like florals, skulls, native, animals and more give me an idea waht you want to try. I would like to try all patterns. i am how ever limited in my tools. i have the basic 7 and a few mor cams, veaners,seeders,and bevelers. so any thing i do i have to use what i got so that i gues will help me figure out what tools will work and what will not work.
