Thank you! I will have to make another Wawak hardware order to check out their newer stuff. That's very exciting to hear about them.

Sorry I should have talked about bonded leather! What I have in the video would smell like leather if I burned it but when I was first buying leather I did get bonded leather and it was plastic smelling. I don't usually burn test, but I did for that bonded leather because I knew something was wrong with it. Since I made this video I found tanner.leatherstein on instagram and he has so much information about leather that I wish had been available to me earlier. I think he also has a UA-cam.

Thank you! I have an instagram but I don't really post there. I appreciate your comment on my video, it is very kind!

No, but I could/would! I do use that machine. I have a narrow foot on my flat bed machine that I bought from my sewing machine dealer. I leave it on all the time, so I never have to change sewing machine feet for zippers or straps, etc. you can also put down a magnet on the throat plate to act as a seam guide or just use a slightly larger seam allowance. I don't think the sides of the strap would lift too much with the larger seam allowance if you needed it. Better than losing the strap!

Thank you! I feel very lucky

I really hope you like it! I've made 2 backpacks and a handbag so far with it. I'm really enjoying it - Mora is my favorite faux leather/vinyl I've worked with.

Thank you!

Thanks!

@@audenhealey2643 Do you have a page on Facebook?

Thank you!

Thanks for watching! Do you mean at minute 9:55 on the 201-2 video when I fill the bobbin? What do you think it needs?

Thanks for watching! I work with 2 ounce upholstery leather making handbags on a sewing machine. I would add those items you mentioned for hand-sewing vegetable tanned leather, but not for the type of work I'm doing. I do occassionally use a lighter on my threads.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Yes! I made a bag with Mora. It's the easiest vinyl to work with that I've ever used and turning the bag was so easy. I did it on my industrial, but I've done lots of vinyl and cork bags on my Janome HD3000 domestic and it does great. I think Mora will do really well on your domestic. I use microtex size 16 needles.

@@audenhealey2643 awesome thanks!!

@@audenhealey2643 hey I looked up the link that you supplied, and at the top it says it's a one horsepower motor, and then down in the description it says it's a 3/4 horsepower motor. Do you know which horsepower one you received? Thanks a lot for the help!!

@@wilsonroyer5787 I got 1hp.

Ok thanks

I'm not an LV expert, but many of the monogram and damier bags are coated canvas with vachetta leather trim and accents. I haven't been able to find a canvas that is similar in feel yet (I would like to work with some on a bag), but cork is a nice substitute.

There are many weights and types of coated canvas

I know this was a year ago, but my favorite is wawak.com.

Sorry, if you're looking for the zipper jig, maybe etsy. Someone is always 3D printing and selling them

I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching! I asked a lot of questions on leatherworker.net and on facebook Myth Co bag maker group is really helpful, but Garth and Shelby have a Myth Leather youtube channel also and they post themselves making bags. What are you interested in making?

@@audenhealey2643 bags and wallets but the leather I bought wasn't very suitable and it's not exactly cheap enough to just buy until I find what I need

You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful. Nicole of Dig the Bag has been using PU backed canvas so I really wanted to try it. Interfaced quilting cotton isn't quite what I'm looking for in a liner, but sometimes PVC canvas is too heavy...hopefully PU canvas is the answer! Thanks for watching!

Yes! This is a great idea because the staples are in the seam allowance. Do you take them out after you sew or leave them in?

@@audenhealey2643 I take them out. They could rust if you leave them in. Its quick, and you don't have all those bent sewing pins.
