My Latest Bag

[Andrew Chee]

Hello all. Here is the latest bag that I've finished. It's based off of some "hunting bags" that I see around. It's made from a soft milled full veg tan italian cowhide with an American made canvas liner and strap.

Good stitching, you know how to sew.

what kind machine, thread & needle did you use?

where do you buy & what weight is canvas

[midwestislander]

What a bag! nice.

[Andrew Chee]

The liners and smaller stitches were sewn using 69 thread size 18 needle on a Consew 206RB flatbed.

The external stitches were sewn using 138 thread size 21 needle on a Pfaff 335

The handle was sewn using 207 thread size 23 (I think) needle on an Artisan Toro 3000

The canvas is a 12oz. brown American canvas. You can find that at Pacific Denim. You can see what's available from their website.

Thanks for the info, I'm learning to sew on a consew 2206 RB 5 I purchased a few months back.

I kinda cheat. I have needle positioner servos with speed reducers on my Consew and Pfaff. Makes control super easy.

I have needle positioner servos with speed reducers on my Consew and Pfaff.

What is the exact model servo motor do you use on the consew 206?

[Andrew Chee]

It's the CS-1001 (I think that's the model number) that I see on eBay. The cheapest one I could find. BTW, there is a flaw with the controllers on those servos. They seem to go slow slow slow.. FAST.... There's a fix you can do to get better gradual speed control on them. Do a search on this site and you can find it. Someone made a Youtube video how to do the mod and it's very easy.

I don't use a positioner on my big Artisan cause those things go slow enough as it is that I don't need one.
