IngleGunLeather Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Posted June 24, 2013 I think I'm most impressed by the fit and finish. If your hand dying them, your doing a great job at consistent coverage. Those should sell some belts for you. Thank you. I'm actually spraying them with a cheap Harbor Freight airbrush. I'm probably gonna look into drum-dyed leather if demand picks up.

Members evandailey Posted June 26, 2013 Members Report Posted June 26, 2013 Nope, sewn with a Cobra Class 4 from Leather Machine Co. That stitching looks nice! I've got to ask what needle point type, presser foot combination, thread weight, process after stitching are you using? I just bought my first machine (a used Adler 205 clone) a month or so ago and am not getting nearly that nice looking of a stitch on the back, and my stitches are all straight and not nicely angled like yours, as in mine are - - - - - not /////. I've always handsewn everything and much prefer the angled stitches but didn't think that was possible with a machine. Quote

The presser foot is set up with a left foot. I used 207 bonded nylon top and bottom. After I stitch a mist water on the belt, let sit for a minute, and smooth out with a tool from Bianchi (frontier gun leather). Quote Ingle Gun leather
