I never used leather, thank you for indicating your settings.
do you cut it too? do you “drill” to ease stitching ?

@StephaneBUISSON Yeah I will indicate settings whenever I do something, that way if other people are doing similar they can use similar settings.

I didn’t cut with the laser, as I am still having issues with that on leather. I cut it manually with a craft knife.

I don’t drill for stitching, however I use an awl to basically “stab” holes where I want the stitches (which I did little dots with the laser to indicate the stitching spacing). Then I use 2 blunt needles to stitch it up.

looks cool !

@David_Cook Thanks David.

@Allready_Gone1 That’s so true. Women’s products are the best to sell because they spend their own money on stuff & their husband/boyfriend/father’s money too hahaha.
