I'm beginning to think that the feet with the steep bevel might be intended for use with stone or steel feed rollers.

The black one looks like marble or granite, and should be easier to find than the beige one, which is a lithostone.

Hi thanks a lot do you use them yourself?

Depends what your definition of stiff is. In my opinion, I would think that 2mm novonappa woukd provide enough structure to make an unlined purse.

Hi Nison You can make this however you want and change the size of the puller to fit your own hardware. I recommend using a 2.7 on the puller part as it’s pretty small.

Eco stick would work! Also white wood glue works as well!

Hi TC, This is also and issue with easily scratched leathers like Barenia or shiny croc. You just need to be very careful, or in the case of shiny croc you need to cover it with a plastic film to protect it. Some leathers you can just buff out minor scrapes or scratches, others you can't so you need to be careful. As for skiving there are a couple things you can do. One is to use a silicon tape to cover your skiver presser foot. This will let the leather slide through with less friction to the surface. Also, maybe more importantly, is dont try and skive off a lot of thickness at one time. If your leather is 2.5mm and you need to get it to 1mm on the edge, if you try to skive it all at once there is a lot of pressure and it will leave marks. Try skiving in stages. From 2.5 to 2.0, then 2.0 to 1.5 and then finally 1.5 to 1.0. good luck! p
