pereverachivaem blank inside kt tape pro out, straighten allowances, all seam tapped with a hammer

In preparation for MK clutches, I realized that without a post about how and what I'm kt tape pro working with the skin, is all very complicated and confusing. So today I'll tell you about the highlights (for me) in sewing leather. I barely have already written, but I understand that it would be necessary in more detail)
Maybe someone all my "secrets" seem a truism. But still I decided to write about them, so as not to cram it all in MK)) Well, then - I can always supplement the same post, answering your questions. Get something like a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) for sewing leather. And yet - I'm not a magician, I'm just learning kt tape pro myself ... and more - all arising))) 1. Needles.
All tips thread I pull inside out (home machine does automatically) and melted, or melted and fasten kt tape pro - depends on the tasks. For household machines I bought here are thread: Aurora Tytan 60E - for skin
Use to lubricate the machine (when sew the skin, the car is very worn). Lubrication kt tape pro process involved husband, then I do not counselor. But I know that it is necessary to lubricate, as the lower part - the shuttle, so the top (chassis).
To do this, I took a thick piece of felt (pictured) and wetted by the oil. Then this piece I was lying in a plastic platter next to the typewriter, and I took it when needed. And the oil is cleaned away, so as not to shed.
BUT! it all works fine with artificial skin, but for natural skin should try on a piece to understand how the skin reacts to the oil and alcohol (depends on many things, it's easier to try before sewing on a piece).
--------------------- From the comments to the post: Kovalenko Elite (Kiev): I own a shoe designer, working with the skin for almost 20 years. And sew bags and shoes, but over time, not at all, that's just look at you and immediately as you want! Would like to advise you not glue time, it is still not a professional and from "steklyaneet" skin and professional adhesive, rubber and it is called in different rasfassovkah For sale, a liter and more for shoe stores in the cases or there is latex, it is also very good and less "fragrant". kt tape pro They can glue-stick items, it can be easily removed from the skin .... Tatiana (blog "box of crayons"): I also use glue crystals moment, but the last time he let me down. The skin was thin glossy, Italian and glue leaked on the front side and gloss went divorce. Well I just noticed, while the item has not yet been sewn. So agree with the thesis that all need to try on a small piece of skin, different skin may react differently.
The pattern on the skin translate using special pens for the skin or just obvozhu awl (if the skin is matte). Traces from the handle (if needed) delete swab with oil / alcohol / water - depends on the skin.
Rounding corners using all suitable kt tape pro round pieces)) usually heads for the press or the bank under these same baits. Applying them to the corner kt tape pro and lead round pen or torch. Then Cutting through scissors.
pereverachivaem blank inside kt tape pro out, straighten allowances, all seam tapped with a hammer - the leather fibers are straightened and the seam is flatter. allowances carefully glue adhesive, again rattling wrenching on the front side and back rattles along the seam. Everything.
So as I know)) is so often do - start line, departing approximately 0.5 cm from the edge, and finish line, not reaching 0.5 cm from the edge. If the skin will be pulled, I just srezhu those extra inches and without hitting line.
In the photo below you can see it (yes it is a picture of MK on clutches)) See, on the inner parts line ended without reaching the edge. This is in order then to easily and cut off the excess material consequences.
--------------------- Korneev Elena (blog "Summer rain"): To skin when sewing is not stretched, I just sizing serpyanku this site. If you want to hem edge, then cut out a strip of the width of hemming and iron without steam glue. That's all. Nothing lasts and is not deformed.
If you need to glue-pressed large area of skin, then press my hands or not the ruler, but this tool. I do not have enough of such small things. Something like apparatus for forming corners and edges, you know that? Not yet meet in Astana, and Internet-stores it is sold only in the embroidery and the minimum salary .. and to me so many pieces of embroidery?))) so while I manage here such a large spatula or your fingers ;-)
Least of all skin stretches along the ridge. The following less tyanuchee direction - along the limbs (depending on tanning skins, of course, but often turns out that way). Sounds kt tape pro like something on manyachnomu)))
