Sewing Leather
Hi all,
Does anyone have experience sewing leather? I will be making a teddy bear from a mink stole for my favorite aunt. She has one from her husband's mother (or grandmother, I don't remember which). He passed away this past May, so I told her I would make one for her.
I am specifically looking for what machine needle to use. It has been a long time since I have sewn leather. I will be using my Singer 201 for the sewing. I think I used heavy duty needles in the past, but it has been about 15 years (or more) since I have made any bears. Any suggestions? I've haven't received the stole yet, since I am in SC and my aunt is in CT and she needs to mail it to me. Just trying to get my ducks in a row.
Thank you,
Shari
