How I make digital patterns for leathercraft & Glowforge setup | Adobe Illustrator Tutorial

[@acoustikink3042]

This is one of the best illustrator tutorial videos that I've seen. Well done!

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 👍

I use magnets on my leather after it is done engraving to keep the piece from curling up like that! It works very well. fantastic tutorial, thank you!

[@JHLeather]

Thats a great idea 👍

Thanks for making this video Jo. Laser cutting seems to open up a lot more opportunity in leather making, especially with design, time and money.

Thanks for this. I know Illustrator a little already so this should really help my pattern making!

[@JHLeather]

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Jo, you may want to try saving your files as a pdf rather than an svg, they should then come into the Glowforge as the correct size as designed in illustrator.

Oh Jo! What do I say? I have tried hard to ‘master’ leather craft for the last few years, guided by your excellent tutorials, but this is a step too far! About 15 years ago, I was sent on a course to give me an introduction to ‘Sketchup’ and ‘2Ddesign’. Let’s be honest, I struggled! I am still none the wiser, and to see you whizzing around, clicking buttons, and saying Do this, Do that, is still bewildering! It is just not the way my brain works. Thanks for trying! At least I can go back and look, look again and then re-look at what you’re saying so that MAYBE I’ll eventually get it! Thank you……..(and thank Skylar too!) Duncan

What are those cool mushroom shaped holders for your leather? Did you buy them or did you laser cut them yourself?

[@JHLeather]

The pegs in the laser cutter were a free file on the glowforge forum 👍

[@xrvhi]

Mahalo! @@JHLeather

I watched about 6 vids, but i still can't get your name in the beginning xD Joking Jay Hatchler?

[@upcycledscraps513]

I've tried to laser cut the leather, but I had an issue with burned leather. What's your idea to clean the burned area?

[@JHLeather]

So I mask the top surface of the leather and once cut, before removing it I sand the edges to remove the char. Works well for me and I get a nice shiny edge after burnishing to 👍

[@upcycledscraps513]

@@JHLeather how about those stitching holes? …because of the charring, I couldn’t use the white threads.

[@lumine8748]

@@upcycledscraps513 For the stitching holes, I use an awl to dab a bit of neutral edge coat and 'coat' the holes. It is tedious, but for something small like a wallet, it does not take a lot of time.

[@babacarlo794]

You can give me the name of application please?

[@JHLeather]

It's Adobe illustrator 👍

[@littlegirllost2654]

What I was looking for, I have a BS in graphic design and I never thought to use AI as a jumping off point, 😂
