Do you simply use the pricking iron to punch all the way through or just mark the leather? Should i get a stitch chisel or the pricking irons do you think thank you

Hey! David Myhre here. I'm new to the forum and would love some insight on making belts using embossed lamb hides or thin prints. If combing the embossed leather with a veg tan backing, would you always glue and sew them together? What would be best if you don't want the look of stitching, but the belt needs to be combined with something to make it hold up over time? If it does need to be stitched, would you saddle stitch or machine stitch a belt like this? Also is there another type of leather other than veg tan that would be preferred for the backing of a belt? Thanks so much for any help! David

Hi! What order is it recommended we view the videos to best take advantage of the information distributed throughout each course? Could they possible be labled as “lesson one, lesson two”, “part one, part two”, or “chapter one, two”, etc. Simply, where am I supposed to start? The way they’re listed and ordered now seems random and doesn’t give me a clear path from beginning to end. I’m a little flustered and feel so lost. 🥺

Hi, I’m going to order some Riri zipper tape. Is it easier, or just as easy, to use a regular pair of pliers to attach the stops on a zipper? Or should I get the pliers made specifically for that purpose? $85 seems like a lot if the other will do as well. Thanks for any help!

Greetings. I know this is subject to taste, but I was curious on what your opinion is on the brighter colors offered by Alran? I have a cocoa glazed alligator piece on it's way and I really like the idea of a yellow Sully interior. I'm not opposed to a few of the other bright colors also. I think they would look amazing with a foil stamp in gold but I've only used the earth colors in the past. So bright colors, yay or nay?

Hello everyone, I am constructing my first leather jacket. I want to line the hole jacket in short hair lambskin. Is there any company inside Europe that supplies high quality short hair lambskins like the one used in the picture?
