Members EweSoKnotty Posted April 2, 2018 Members Report Posted April 2, 2018 Hi! My name is Shelby and I'm learning leather work! Both machine and hand. This is my baby and I am excited to learn and share and ask silly questions everyone else knows the answers too. Like why do they make thread sizes such a pia? Glad to be here!! Quote
bikermutt07 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Posted April 2, 2018 We are glad you are here, Shelby. I can't answer that silly question myself. But feel free to ask another.... 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.
Rockoboy Posted April 2, 2018 Report Posted April 2, 2018 I think it's so you will have to buy lots of different sizes and lots of different colours in each size, so the thread manufacturers get rich!
