dully1963 4 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 only if its very thin you need an industrial type (walking foot if possible or needle feed) it helps to hold the leather and stop it sliping Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Mine is a domestic industrial machine, it will sew it, but it takes a LOT of time and patience to feed the leather through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thank you. That was a really old one, from about 7 or 8 years ago when I first started taking orders for collars. I didn't get on too well with leather, there were more thrown away than sold! That's why I like working with polyprop webbing, it is consistent and more accurate to work with.

the big chief 3,099 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 my collars take a hell of a long time to sew as i do it all by hand its a ball ake but the end result is good and well worth it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bisketti 6 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Leather is fairly easy to hand stitch. The time is in the preperation beforehand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
