Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to see since I used vinyl for the wrist strap instead of fabric as per the pattern. Thank you again for all of your videos and how well you explain every aspect.

Thank you for a very thorough tutorial! I’ve been sewing for many years but I’m only now venturing into bags so I’m learning like many, and it’s great to learn from someone who is very clean and professional in their presentation and work

[@DebbyHunker]

Thank you veery much for your kind words.

[@Maggiewaggiemoo12]

Another great tutorial. This is how I do mine too. I think it gives a really tidy finish on the wrist straps.

[@lynnfrick6258]

Nice! I wish you had shown how you fixed the first rivet being off center! I have done that and didn't realize I could repunch! The struggle is real! LOL! thanks!

[@donnaprosser9616]

What brand of machine do you have? Thanks for a great tutorial.

[@normahalliburton2908]

Hi Debby could you tell me what brand of thread you use, is it bonded Polyester or Cotton. Looking for Tex90 is not easy in the UK. I dont know what the equivalent would be. Im just trying to get everything together to get started. Thank you for your great videos, very high standard, I love your attention to detail, take care x

[@DebbyHunker]

The thread I use is imported by my supplier. They brand it as Titan, but distribute it locally only. The Tex 90 I use is bonded polyester. It may be easier to find Tex 70 as that’s a more available size. It’s only slightly thinner.

Heyyy! Glad to see u here Again! Love what I have Seen! Thnx

[@DebbyHunker]

Hi Yanna! Yes, I'm back!

[@grammaali3462]

Great video! I sell mine for the same. But, I need to get that nice leather punch like you have. I have the very pointy thing and I'm going to put a hole through my hand one day. Thanks for sharing!! 💜

[@DebbyHunker]

Yes, pointy things that aren't meant for that specific job can be very dangerous!

[@midwaypitt]

Hi, your top stitching is so on point. What thread are you using and where can we buy some?

[@DebbyHunker]

Thank you Linda! My top stitching is a bit of a point of pride for me! For topstitching with my industrial, I use Tex 90 bonded nylon. I have bought mine locally from my upholstery wholesaler, but the place I buy my machines is going to be supplying now.

Thank you! Love your videos!

[@denisehosner3405]

Very helpful! Thank you!

Hi Debby, thank you for the great tutorial. I am interested in the rivet method however can't afford a rivet press such as the one you have. Are there alternate rivet presses available that would be more economical

[@CarlaJTabor]

Debby, you really caught my attention when you mentioned the synchronizer motor. Is this just for your make/model of machine? I'm having such a hard time with slow "controlled" starts and even reverses.

[@DebbyHunker]

No, it’s actually not at all! At friend of mine just had one put on her vintage Singer (abt 1940) and she loves it. I would talk to the place you bought your machine from and see if they carry them, but they are not model/make specific.

[@ritamcv]

Hi Debbie, just found your channel and I love it! I'm wondering how you like your Titan 650BL and would you recommend it? I'm looking for an industrial machine. Am I able to get one here in BC near Vancouver? Thx.

[@DebbyHunker]

Hi! I love my Titan! I also now have a Titan cylinder arm machine and a Titan leather skiver. My life is complete! My best advice is to call Rodney at Central Sewing in Edmonton and talk to him about availability and price. Make sure to let him know that I sent you!

[@ritamcv]

Thanks Debby. I'm looking at a couple of different brands including Juki. I'll definitely let him know you sent me. :0) @@DebbyHunker

[@andie3131]

What Is the vinyl you used called? Where did you find it?

[@maezimmerman2340]

Hi Debby? Good morning! Are you going to have a video tutorial for the clover bag?

[@DebbyHunker]

Hello Mae! Yes, Clover is my next big project. It will be a video tutorial that you will have to purchase though. I'm not sure when it's coming out...

[@BoojiePanda]

Will the pattern be included with the purchased video? That's the only thing that makes purchasing video tuts (on Craftsy) worth it for me.

[@DebbyHunker]

We haven't worked out the details yet, so I can't say for sure.

[@marilynvires1456]

Where do we find this pattern to make one with you?

[@LoriJansen]

What kind of industrial machine do you have?

[@DebbyHunker]

I have a Titan 650BL, it's comparable to a Consew P1206RB

[@kimhoward6124]

Where did you get your rivet press?

[@DebbyHunker]

I actually purchased my press quite a few years ago from KamSnaps. It's a discontinued model now. I would highly suggest the press from Tandy Leather. I bought one on behalf of a customer and I've had a chance to see it up close. It's very good and very versatile.
