Members soccerdad Posted July 17, 2016 Members Report Posted July 17, 2016 Could you all please paste in links to the best leather-sewing videos you know of? I've got my first machine -- a 441 type -- on the way and am eager to start off right. Thanks for your suggestions. Quote

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 25, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted July 25, 2016 Try to stick to the ones from the machine supplier. Around here, you'll get a LOT of "advice" which is nothing more than someone repeating what they heard from someone else.. and may or may not be worth anything at all. Seriously, I've received "advice' and "tips" and "recommendations" about machines from people who don't own that model (and in some cases, don't own one at all). Oh, if your supplier doesn't offer any instruction, simple manual, etc... maybe get a new supplier? Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

Members soccerdad Posted September 28, 2016 Author Members Report Posted September 28, 2016 Apologies for this tardy "thank you" to all who offered suggestions. For some reason, I was not getting notifications. At any rate, all your ideas are appreciated. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Posted September 28, 2016 Marking for later. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
