The straps you are doing are wonderful! Are you specializing in guitar straps only? Guitar straps are definately my main focus. The gal at the local Tandy store keeps telling me I need to branch out. I still have alot to learn. If you're looking for dyes, finishes, fasteners, and sewing supplies, you can go to Sew What Supplies in West Allis on Hwy 100 near Sams Club Someone at Tandy told me about that place. Do they have a showroom? Or are they only online? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Report post Posted April 15, 2013 They do have a small show room. Give them a call in advance and set up an appt. or see if they have time for you to come in. They are usually very busy putting together and sending out orders (there are only 2 of them working). I call in my orders in advance since I know what they have and then pick them up.

chancey77 Report post Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Hey NICE STRAPS!!!!!!!! If I can add one wonderful addition to them...add a small hole at the top of the slots.Just use the smallest or 2nd smallest hole setting on your hole punch. It is an anti tear hole and also gives a little extra give to get the strap over the guitar strap button. This helps tremendously in the long run and life of the strap. KEEP POUNDING!!!! LOOKING GOOD!!!! Edited April 15, 2013 by chancey77 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
