Members KingsCountyLeather Posted January 3, 2018 Members Report Posted January 3, 2018 I was flicking through Instagram and came across this picture. @bikermutt07 quote refers to practising stitching everyday and it’s true. Here is some proof of how practising stitching over a 2 year period has improved a great deal. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted January 3, 2018 Members Report Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) With all the awesome stitching running around this forum and seeing @bikermutt07 signature line I have seriously been considering stitching as I do inane crap on the couch. I have miles of thread and a ton of leather. Sometimes just doing projects isn't enough. I've seen improvement in my stitching just from doing projects but I think I am going to start doing it just for the sake of doing it. Time to make the gravy. Your improvement over time is great @KingsCountyLeather. You should be proud of your progression. Edited January 3, 2018 by battlemunky Quote

I was merely showing us new leather workers that practising stitching does pay off. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 I'm glad that those words of wisdom is motivating you guys. So, I'm gonna share the story. There was a lady who used to babysit me as an infant. Her husband and my parents became great great friends. The kind of people that you take road trips with. His name was Ed Earl and she was what we called Franny Farkleberry (real name Francis). One day I was eating some biscuits and gravy at her table. In my mind, i was comparing her gravy with my mom's while she was busy making another batch. There were a lot of us in the two families back then. 13 of us all together. My mom's gravy has always been missing something. So, I asked Franny how did she make that gravy taste so good? She just stood there at the stove stirring that old cast iron skillet, and said, "I make it every day". 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.
