Great video! What are the measurements for the buckle holes?

@stephanieramosvalle8382 11 ай бұрын

@wiccanwarrior9 oh I must have skipped over it then.

@Girtyleatherco 11 ай бұрын

Unless someone requests otherwise I space my holes 1” apart on adult belts. I put them closer together on kids belts, dog collars, and other small straps.

Looks great! What size bag punch and hole punch do you use? Thanks!

@Girtyleatherco 11 ай бұрын

I just use a 1” oblong punch for the buckle and when I’m using these decorative screws I have to use a 3/16” hole punch for the post to fit and then a 5/32” for the screw holes

Super nice. Are you using the feed dog, or you mind elaborating on what feet you're using?

Cool, I can’t do the freehand Groover, though.

@Girtyleatherco 11 ай бұрын

It would look perfectly fine without doing it, that’s just something I prefer!

@gautammurugiah3001 11 ай бұрын

Have you tried using the maker's leather supply guide to groover for the gunslinger curves (like a curved ruler) instead of freehand?

@Girtyleatherco 11 ай бұрын

I haven’t thought of that but I will have to give it a try, thanks!

@angieshabraka7194 11 ай бұрын

How do you get the stitches on the pattern to end exactly a full stitch length at the apexes/turns? Do you mark it with a stitching chisel 1st?

@Girtyleatherco 11 ай бұрын

When I get close to the point, I just use my hand wheel on my machine to manually run the needle and adjust my project to where it needs to be. It doesn’t always come out perfect

@Brian-hx9wy 5 ай бұрын

How do you guarantee your lines meet up perfectly at each tip? I always find I’m having to physically adjust the leather by raising the presser foot and align it that way. I did notice your hand was doing some kind of adjusting of camera….whats the easiest way to achieving this? Thanks!

@Girtyleatherco 5 ай бұрын

Are you referring to the points on the gunslinger pattern itself? Like how to make the stitch finish right at the tip?

@Brian-hx9wy 4 ай бұрын

@@Girtyleatherco yes exactly. Any time I’m sewing to a point or tip of a pattern I find it difficult to understand how to make tight crisp corners and redirections without a lot of physically manipulating the leather. It gets frustrating

@Girtyleatherco 4 ай бұрын

If I’m on the same page as you, then I do the same thing. Whenever I’m reaching a point I typically use my hand wheel to control the needle more. I lift the presser foot up and if I have to, slightly adjust the leather to make sure that the needle is coming into contact where I want it to go. From there, I just manually complete the stitch and rotate my project. Does that make sense?

What size conch is do you buy for your belts? I recently got some and bought the wrong size

@Girtyleatherco 6 ай бұрын

I usually buy the decorative screws that I used in this video in size 3/16” but I almost always have to use a different screw than what comes with them to make it work.

@bobbyroberts5751 6 ай бұрын

@@Girtyleatherco I appreciate the response because I recently bought some berry Conchos that looked similar to yours, and they were entirely too short to make it through my belt.

@Oldtownleatherworks 10 ай бұрын

I was always told to take the pant size of the customer and add 14” which has usually worked out to my success. I noticed you set your belt holes a little further back. What’s your method for measuring a belt?

@Girtyleatherco 10 ай бұрын

I usually make my belts with the size being the measurement from the center of the fold, where the buckle connects, to the center hole. From the center hole to the tip I usually add 7 inches unless the customer requests something different. I have heard a few ways to go about it but what you mentioned is new to me!

@Oldtownleatherworks 10 ай бұрын

I’ll give this a try on the next one. Thank you

@rob46265 8 ай бұрын

hey man, this video was very helpful. I have a question if you dont mind, I'll try to do something similar on my own but obviously dont have a stitching machine haha, so I'll do it manually. what stitching irons would you say are going to achive that stitching distange that you're using here, 4mm, 5mm? Thanks!

@Girtyleatherco 8 ай бұрын

4mm or 3mm would be very close to my stitch length on this belt!

I did end up making one for this belt, as seen in the thumbnail; however, some customers request to not have one. A keeper isn’t necessary with some types of buckles, like a trophy style for example.
