MonicaJacobson Report post Posted December 27, 2015 Nice! If I might ask, where did you get your lizard skin? I wasn't very pleased with the one lot I bought. It was brittle, and if you sewed it too tight, it tended to rip the leather. What was your experience with it? Also, my husband got me a cheaper version of the fileteuse for christmas, so I'm hoping I might be able to imitate your creasing some time soon. Still waiting on the creasing tip, and I might have to buy another, smaller one, but already the iron has made a huge difference on the edge paint when I tried it this afternoon.

thefanninator Report post Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) I got the lizard from Roje. It is very thin but very strong. I tried to tear some scraps and couldn't do it. It doesn't seem to crease very good and stitching has been hit or miss for a nice slant. I'm working on a watch strap and not happy with the stitching.

MonicaJacobson Report post Posted December 27, 2015 Thanks! I was looking at their website last week, wondering how anyone could possibly make a bag out of lizard, if the quality was what I had experienced (I did not get mine from them). I had similar trouble with stitching - the tiny pebbled plates push the stitches out of alignment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
