Stetson912 Report post Posted November 9, 2017 Nice. I was going to say, kinda a waste to stitch one layer by hand for decoration haha. A machine tho, makes it worth it. Looks good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks good Thanks. I just got the machine. Stitched both belts in less than 15 minutes. Hand saver for sure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stetson912 Report post Posted November 9, 2017 Go ahead, rub it in... haha One day I hope to get one myself. I know absolutely nothing about machines haha. But, it makes things faster for sure. If I did this more large scale I'd definitely get one. But for now I just do enough to satisfy my creative side haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragonspit Report post Posted November 10, 2017 I'm with Stetson912. at first i was gonna say, why would you stitch with no backing, but it does look very nice and wouldnt look nearly as pro without the stitching. and I am also in the same boat regarding owning a machine. but your whole set up looks pro. nice job.

paulw Report post Posted January 2, 2018 dam nice belts, as to the stitching it finishes them off, I don't think the stitching is wasted, to get better and quicker one must keep doing it. It elevates the belts right up there, well done Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
