Outstanding work. My Glowforge Pro just arrived Monday, April 1st (no fooling, LOL). Specifically purchased this for leather pattern cutting. I own and operate my own leather craft (and other things) company in Junction City, KS. I see you set your stitch hole size to .065. What is the thread weight you are using? I hand stitch with waxed artificial sinew at or above #92. I have found that the perfect hole size for this weight thread is 0.125" (3.175mm) and a repeat path (distance per stitch “dps”) of 0.138" (03.5mm) to 0.157" (4mm). That equates to roughly 6 stitches per inch (spi). Leather has a tendency to tear at the stitch holes if the stitching holes are to close. Just adding some FYI for your readers and followers. I have been playing around in Inkscape and have all my patterns developed… time to start burning away :slight_smile:

First cut out of a pattern on leather. (Wine Tote). Little staining that will be ok once stained. Follow on pics when completed.

Ooh, can’t wait to see this finished. What stain do you have in mind?

In the category of 'Places I didn’t expect to encounter my deadname for $1,000"! My last name was Ewing for close to 30 years and I never thought it was common until I changed it and started running into it all over the place!

Cool design, looking forward to seeing how it comes together :slight_smile:

Bracelets were one of my favorite things to learn on. You can print a staggering number of things on a single sheet of :proofgrade: and it let me practice dying, edge finishing, basic stamping and eventually working with rivets, buckles and snaps.

Once you have the basics down, a whole big world opens up :slight_smile:

It has taken me more than a year to build up the courage since I first saw and drooled over this, but I think maybe I’m almost ready to try a bag! #necrogame

Judging from your recent work, you’re totally ready and I can’t wait to see it!

Zero chance there is a file for this??

FYI it’s against forum rules to ask for files. They’ll post them in the Free Laser Designs section, or post a link if they want to share.
Check the individuals icon to see if they have a store linked to their profile. Jae is a :glowforge: employee, so no Etsy for her.

Beautiful first off What type of thread did you use if you don’t mind me asking?

Not me, but this stuff is a workhorse (though currently sold out which is sad). I imagine you can buy it multiple places:

I didn’t ask for the file I said I wonder if there is a file for this. I was just curious. :thinking:
