General Chat

Hey everyone.

As you may have noticed, the forum looks a little different now.

Our website providers WIX have just put out a major update to the forum app. This wasn't a voluntary update by me, the old forum app has now been discontinued.

While it may look quite different, the updates should improve functionality, such as navigation, uploading media and spam protection.

Obviously, as with any new software, there may be glitches here and there. So feel free to reach out to me with any issues or suggestions you may have. philip@leathercraftmasterclass.com

Also, all the posts and comments from the old forum have been transferred over to the new one, so you can still access historical content.

Hello all,

I was just wondering, what colors of thread was mostly used traditionally?

I and a lot of other leathermakers use a big variaty of color in our threads, but was was used traditionally for brown, tan and black leather?

What say you, Phil, you have read a lot of litterature and old book about leathercraft. What does the books say about thread and leather colors?

SOS on my first piping repair. Any tips and tricks appreciated.

Also, if anyone has other favorite piping materials other than plastic, I would apprec recommendations.

Thank you!
