Hi Peter, Thank you for your quick reply! That’s great, good to know. I hope I can check out the press in Paris next week.

Perfect, thank you!

You cut out a triangle a little shorter than the length of the leather patch and stitch it together

Hi Edward, These straps Anna be made form all kinds of different materials. Usually viscose, or viscose, cotton or nylon blend or all nylon. There are a lot of suppliers for that if you want to order larger quantities. I will be adding several solid colours to my webstore hopefully within the next week in 4cm width. P

If i'm not mistaken it's a regad one. I think a few places sell them.

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

Which Meisi poly thread is good for both machine stitching and hand stitching? I see that Meisi has a few different poly threads.

Thank you so much Talitha Joy.

Yes. If you punch on both front sides then put them together then you don’t need to cast and it will give you angled stitches on both sides

Hi Peter, Thank you so much, indeed I already thought about it since I have some, but the range of colors is then very limited.

I have never worked with epsom but I know you can get it from Tannerie Roux in France and Weinheimer in Germany.

I would be interested in that tutorial.
