Members Yanni Posted January 3, 2015 Members Report Posted January 3, 2015 I'm trying to find a way to mark an outline of a pocket so the ladies in the factory can sew the pocket on. I usually have a knife with blunt edges that we mark the leather but when it has this faux fur on top as in picture, I cannot find a way to mark it. Our hot foil machine goes only until 120 degrees Celsius so it doesn't really mark it. When I use a pen, the marking is hidden inside the fur and cannot be seen. Any ideas? Quote
Members Dwight Posted January 4, 2015 Members Report Posted January 4, 2015 Get some soap stone from a welding supply house, . . . or on ebay. You will have to play with it to get it the way you want it, . . . but soap stone will mark on just about anything that has a dry surface. It is my "go to" product when using pre-dyed leather, . . . especially because it just brushes off when you are done. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

electrathon Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 I have had good luck with a silver pen or silver sharpie to mark things that the lines otherwise disappear on. Quote
