"The title translated to 'Hand sewn video of British god Philip Jury' so I'll let it slide. I'm sure there's a more accurate translation but I'm not interested in hearing it 😉" crying!!

Same here -- I've been hoarding my scraps but my scrap bag is getting out of control!

Hey Maru, I thought that, but the seam allowance would worry me. If I cut off 1-1.5mm, that would only leave me with 1.5-2mm from the edge. I found this online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBBOtpTkZqY&t=495s I printed out the pattern and it looks like the seam allowance for the body panel is 3mm (1/8") and the gusset is 5mm. I might try adjusting my gusset seam allowance and making it a bit bigger. My design has a more acute angle, so I'm wondering if that is also an issue...

Hey Fadi, I'm not sure what a rolled edge is (newb here), but if that's when one edge curves over the other to overlap, then yes. I took your advice and skived it down but I'm still having the same issue (tried both double stick tape and saregum, separately). I'm now wondering if the leather I'm using is an issue -- it's pretty stiff. I guess I have to try again with a softer leather to rule that out. In the meantime, if you have any other ideas, I'm all ears! Thank you again!

Hi Fadi! Thank you so much for your advice. Yea, I think I will defer to the collective wisdom and go ahead with some hand tools for now :)

@Paul Newton This is very, very helpful -- thank you so much!! I'm in the US so even better. I appreciate it!

Thanks, Philip! I think I am starting to lean more towards hand tools afterall, but since you have to get new hand setters for each piece of hardware size (right??), it unfortunately wouldn't solve the space issue too much, haha!

Hi Paul! Thank you for your response! I have heard that some dies don't work with the hardware of other manufacturers, even if they are the same size (e.g. die for size 22 from company A won't work with a size 22 snap from company B). Did you find that you had issues with this, or did you just use dies and hardware from the same manufacturer?

@Glenn Delmotte Hi Glenn, thank you for your response! As for being an investment, don't you also have to buy individual settings for the hand tool version as well (or am I confused)?

Hi Maru! Thanks for your response! I was thinking something like this: I assume these are stand alone (I live in a small apartment and don't have a workbench, so I would need to be able to move it back and forth to my table). I wasn't sure what I should be looking for when purchasing one, or if they're all pretty standard and so I don't have to worry (other than the quality of the actual snaps or rivets as opposed to the machine to install them). I considered a setter that you use with a hammer but I assumed there would be a lot of growing pains so I thought I would just go straight for the hand press. Thoughts? Hana

@Anders from Jävlar Hi! Did you end up getting a better setting tool? I'm looking to buy one and was wondering what you ended up with, if you did!

Opened IG, saw @olena.wills post, and I ordered........ I'm weak!! >.< (In my defense, I had just emailed RM last night about their out-of-stock KS 2.7s, so I'm chalking it up to divine intervention!)

I'm confused as well. If the month-by-month option is removed, what are the options you will be offering for new customers? Only purchase per video?
