They look really professional, is that just a normal sewing machine with a stiff needle or do you need a special one to stitch through leather?
That fur will be nice to itch your face with on a cold day too.

Idk, beaver fur is mighty soft!
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.
Re: Beaver and Elk hide chopper mittens
Its a 60+ year old Singer slant needle 404 and a denim needle. If I van fit the material under the presser foot, I can sew it. Several layers of leather are no problems. Ive sewn through 12 layers of fabric at one time. The needle is key. Its got to be stout and new.Longtrad wrote:They look really professional, is that just a normal sewing machine with a stiff needle or do you need a special one to stitch through leather?
The Joy is in the doing.
