ThoughtFission Report post Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Hi, I was getting my supplies from the UK as I live in France. I'm pretty new to all of this so I was wondering if someone could recommend reasonably priced, good quality suppliers for: a cylinder arm sewing machine leather (natural veg tan) pricking irons (chisels) and various other tools a skiving machine thread dyes Anywhere in Europe would be ok as long as they ship at reasonable prices and they are reputable. Thanks! G Edited November 3, 2019 by ThoughtFission Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leatherhouse sell fine linen thread (Produced by Meisi) https://www.leatherhouse.eu/products/98-sewing-thread/3454-waxed-linen-thread-from-hong-kong---yue-fung/ 6: Leatherhouse: Dye from ROC, Fiebings, and Fenice. If there is any particular product you are looking for, like a special brand of thread or dye/edge paint, I might be able to help, since I have quite good knowledge of the different European suppliers.

chrisash Report post Posted November 4, 2019 I doubt that Brexit will effect you for at least 2 years (until after the transition period and trade talks end) and probably longer or never, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zuludog Report post Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) I'm wary of turning this into a political discussion, but I too am doubtful that Brexit will be as much of a problem as the Remainers have forecast - business is business, and no-one is going to turn down a customer I can't suggest any particular suppliers, though I have seen the leatherhouse.eu website and it seems reasonable enough. Here are some comments on thread - I would have thought that Fil au Chinois would be the obvious choice for someone living in France, but as it's not so easy to find in Britain recently I have tried Yue Fung thread, both linen & synthetic, and it's very good. In particular I like the linen thread, and I'd say it's as good, if not better than Fil au Chinois I have used Amy Roke synthetic thread, and prefer it to Ritza/Tiger thread I haven't used Amy Roke linen, but I would expect it to be good quality I haven't bought any leather of this supplier, but I've heard good reports - https://www.buyleatheronline.com Edited November 4, 2019 by zuludog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dunluce Report post Posted November 4, 2019 Try Deco Cuir who are based in France. I often use them and have found them to offer a good service. They have a fantastic range and they also have a scheme where you gain points on your purchases Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
