Thanks for the info! Makk sure with the gum trag if you'ree using eco-flo or similar color, don't get it on the pretty side of the face. I use my finger with a light touch but for the kiddos q-tips or small paint brushes would work well. Quote Machines currently in use: Cowboy 3200, Adler 67-372, Singer 66, Singer 15-91

I am talking about to finish the edges. I have tools to mark the stitch lines and make the holes...but I only have edge paint. I know there are different things needed to finish the edges just by burnishing. So, what are the basic things I would need to get nice edges without using paint? I have a quick solution for you that just came to mind. . There is a company that I get a lot of my acrylic patterns from. The company is called MakeSupply. Go to their web site: www.makesupply-leather.com There you will find all of their products for sale along with step by step build along videos associated with those products. I can't tell you how much I've learned from Justin who is the owner of MakeSpply. In every one of his videos he shows you the tools and supplies needed in order to complete and put finished edges on Leather projects. Problem solved! lol Quote
Northmount Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 For edge burnishing read Bob Park's pinned post under how to do that. Quote

Just read the article you suggested by Bob Park and it was very good. I was not aware of the glycerin bar soap as opposed to Tragacanth. That's what I love about this site....,You are always learning from others. Thanks for the post! Quote
