I haven't lashed out on leather yet, but have a suitable stand in, and plenty of it if you would like something to practice on..

I'm (we're?) having major forum problems tonight and I have lost 3 PMs so does my place and next Sunday suit everyone? It's easy for me but a real PITA for particularly Tony?

Should be ok for me. We will need to transport the machine though as I won't have the work ute after today.
I'll give you a ring later today Fletty.
I'm working at Camden on Sunday, due to finish around 3pm, could be there just after that.
And please do not forget the photos.
I reckon the quilting idea's a good one!
At Sculpture On The Greens, there were some "quilts" made from plasticy woven feed bags, with a $7,000 price tag!
So I got a lend of q machine and decided to have a practice. I got a little carried away and now have 2 cushions. Not perfect but learnt a few things. Attachment 381258
Wow!
The chair looks good Shane. Nice job.
Today's F7 has closed with a few well deserved beers. The final outcome was the sewing of a prototype cushion from which many lessons were learnt.

In addition to the 'walking foot' sewing machine, NCArcher also supplied some white leather for prototypes but the real cushions will be made from a full hide of a dark burgundy coloured leather that cost me the princely sum of $149!

The next step will be another white leather BETA model to include the learnings and then the serious stuff starts?
Many thanks to Tony.
