Ambassador leatheroo Posted June 27, 2011 Ambassador Report Posted June 27, 2011 I desperately want a leather sewing machine but cant afford one at the moment, so i pulled out my home domestic machine and put in a leather needle. I picked up some scraps from the local tannery and made myself this back pack. I found the machine can sew two layers with ease but thats about it. Quote "]http://leatheroo.blogspot
Members WinterBear Posted June 27, 2011 Members Report Posted June 27, 2011 Color me impressed. I sew duck and tent canvas (very very carefully) on a home machine, and that is difficult enough. Did you have to use a walking foot or drop the feed dogs? Quote I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...
