mmirob Report post Posted May 2, 2011 Working with stingray takes some practice and a small learning curve. This particular piece has very large calcium beads. I have commented on previous threads but will mention again that it is best to dremel your stitch lines so they look straight. Your needle will otherwise divert and look sloppy. It is a bit larger because the customer wanted a badge holder but fit and function are there for this style. Feel free to comment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nooj Report post Posted May 2, 2011 That's a gorgeous holster. I've loved stingray ever since I saw a pair of stingray boots down in Tijuana Mexico, about 10 years ago. I haven't worked with it yet though... When you say 'dremel your stitch lines', are you referring to the entire stitch line or just each hole?? Also, did you hand stitch or machine sew this piece? Very well done piece of work, sir. Nooj Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmirob Report post Posted May 3, 2011 I dremel the entire stitch line with a cutting wheel. (It smokes and smells) ) I take it down just enough to flatten the calcium beads. Be careful not to hit the leather! I machine stitch. Thanks! That's a gorgeous holster. I've loved stingray ever since I saw a pair of stingray boots down in Tijuana Mexico, about 10 years ago.
