Members updn Posted February 23, 2018 Members Report Posted February 23, 2018 First time sewing on my new cobra4 leather sewing machine well I am so impressed with my new cobra4 from those great guys at leathersewingmachine company. This machine has great possibilities, I am so excited to have it. Here is a first project, a new wallet design for sale on markets, so it needs to be price aggressive and therefore sewing by machine. I am so impressed with the heavy stitch, it just looks so amazing, almost like a hand saddlers stitch. Here I am using a 200 S point needle with a 277 yarn on top and a 207 yarn in the bobbin. I have used rather thick scrap leather for the prototype, maybe a 1,8mm chrome leather, was quite impressed that the pattern that I made last night worked quite well. The ends of the sewing I backed stitched using a traditional saddlers stitch to ensure that the stitching does not come loose, is quite time consuming but I think it is worth it for my customers..Any comments....? . For the flap inside I shall line with natural plain vegtan, and of course one can use other fastening methods....have ordered some tuck snaps in brass from Abbeyengland ....link here http://abbeyengland.com/Store/CategoryID/420/List/0/Level/a/ProductID/77291 Here are some making of pictures....The pictures are too big will make them smaller and post later..OK Quote

bikermutt07 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 That's a big wallet. Looks nice. 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.
