I use the singer sewing machine as a table. This is the first part of my “how to” video for making a nice set of winter mittens. I hope you enjoy this….I thought I might as well find some purpose in my Channel. I hope this direction takes a new direction for the benefit of everyone who is curious about hand sewing leather.

These are some of the steps I apply in making a large knife sheath. Both the top and bottom as well as the welt is 14oz veg tan. This makes a thickness of almost 5/8″ around the edges. I sewed it on my Cobra Class 4 and it stitched beautifully. The finish is neatsfoot oil applied liberally. I wasn’t satisfied with the sheath it came in and came up with this design. Thanks for looking. Richard Black BlacksLeather@att.net

Hello everyone today i will be working on a Draft horse belly band …
A demonstration of sewing techniques on a Cobra Class 4. This is my first week with the new machine. I’m using a 277 thread bonded nylon on a piece of 10 oz. veg tan leather. Once you get the timing and beat it gets easier.

Sewing leather band onto a leather tote using a Cobra 4. Just a very short little video.
This machine is the best to use on a variety of leather applications! I chose to sew slow and 1 there is no rush and 2 given what we charge you want your stitching to be bang on straight and sewed securely. www.greenmanleather.ca
