raysouth Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Wondering if anyone in Opelika/Auburn, Alabama working with leather and pyrography, as well as machine sewing leather or anything else, involving leatherwork. Would enjoy hearing from anyone about leatherwork. Currently going bonkers, selecting a sewing machine to purchase but hope to have that issue solved in next week or so. In addition, leathercrafters/pyrographers and other interesting folk invited to drop in if in the area. In shop/studio most afternoons but my schedule is quite flexible these days. Out to pasture and pretty much homebound. Ray Quote

raysouth Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks Robert. Wish I were close to someone in my area but all seem to be a bit out of my travelling range. Never touched a sewing machine before and as I told Steve, I know they have a bobbin, needle and thread. Suppose I will have to learn it all. Not able to locate anyone around my town that could teach me to sew leather and also no luck looking for training materials that could provide the information. Must not be much of a market for leather sewing lessons. Thanks again and if you ever travel my way, give me some heads up and drop in awhile. God Bless.
