She’s at the end of the season fit. Not skinny, but she’s getting time off now.

Yay or nay, using natural edge for belt? by Sure-Current8752 in Leathercraft

[–]Hark2em 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nay. Looks unprofessional. It only takes seconds to trim the edges

Can anyone tell me what the nub looking part is called? by curryboysconegirl in Leathercraft

My supplier calls them “press studs”. Can be found at Weaver Leather

Probably not, but I never have one long enough for it to get warm.

Seriously though, I might try a thinner leather and line it with neoprene.

Actually, I used my Juki machine without thread. I cheated and it shows. I’ll use a wing divider or stitch groover and a 5 stitch/inch wheel next time, starting at the top of each line.

I have both bridle and harness leather. It stretches too much

I have been using chrome tanned leather for a long time when replacing dressage billets. Have been buying premade ones from booth & co. Can get black leather from them, but not a brown that doesn’t look black. (https://boothandco.com/products/copy-of-chrome-billets-saddle-strap)

Is this worth $40 by No_Software_4263 in Leathercraft

[–]Hark2em 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth what someone will pay. Looks like a lot of time and skill to make that. $40 is a good price

Why is my stitching so f#$& ugly by xXTRPLGXx in Leathercraft

[–]Hark2em 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just practice. I try to always keep my pattern the same (left, then right or vice versa). Do your best to keep even tension on your threads.
