Members Alexis1234 Posted January 4, 2019 Members Report Posted January 4, 2019 This is my 2nd attempt at harness. Lots of handstitching including all of the keepers. It was a learning experience for sure. I made plenty of mistakes, but I'm sure the next one will turn out better. Quote
Members Big Sioux Saddlery Posted January 4, 2019 Members Report Posted January 4, 2019 That style of harness is a lot of fiddly, time consuming work. I've known people who have been "building harness" for decades and still can't do that level of work. Very nice job. Quote
Contributing Member Samalan Posted January 4, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted January 4, 2019 Wow That looks like a lot of work ! beautiful job, how long did that take, you folks that do that kind of work are amazing really nice work. Quote
Members Alexis1234 Posted January 4, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 4, 2019 Big Sioux, thank you- I value your opinion and advice greatly. I had the majority of this harness done months ago...The saddle was very difficult. I kept making mistakes and wanted to throw it in the boiler on numerous occasions. Quote

Thank you! It was alot of work. I worked on this off and on for about 6 months. The major hold up was the saddle... I had to design everything from the ground up including the tree, skirts, etc because I don't have access to any patterns and very limited information out there.. Lots of trial and error. Quote

Usually the worst part, especially on the higher end type harness. Just curious if you still have your Landis #1, or if you stitched this on a different machine. It doesn't look like a set-up foot was used. Quote
