H&M Valley Ranch Store- Sewing Leather

H&M Valley Ranch Store has received questions on, "How to sew leather?" That depends on your definition of leather. Leather has a "weight" or thickness, obviously the thicker or heavier the weight the harder it is to sew with a light weight machine.

Be very careful of purchasing machines online, especially on ebay that advertise "leather" sewing machine - in reality, very few on ebay have the ability to sew leather such as cowhide, calf, or other heavy leather. If you are really serious about purchasing a true leather machine look for names that have been in the industry for years - juki, consew, artisan, tacsew, tipman, and their are a few others out.Those well known brands have a price tag, prepare your wallet. Industrial leather machines are made to last forever - so the initial cost can start from $1200. to $2600. depending on the make, model, features, and shipping. The price could go up substantially if you purchase a machine that does both straight and zig-zag....most machines only do one or the other.

When considering this investment, consider the service as well! The company that you purchase from should either service the machine or give you a card of a local representative that does. If you purchase a new machine you will still need to have it serviced, so it is very important to find out in advance where it will be going - these machines are very heavy!

Back to "how to sew leather?" Good quality leather machine, leather needles (depends on machine - we use #16-20), leather thread (#69 is what we use), masking tape, leather glue, metal ruler, leather marking pen, and your pattern. That should get you started! If you are really interested in making leather products, go to your local leather supply shop - Tandy Leather is available in many areas...do a search to find the one nearest you. Before making a very large investment in a machine, some of the local leather shops will offer classes in leather making - find out if you really like doing leather before you buy all of the supplies and machine to create leather items.

Anyone who does purchase the above stated items does so knowing that the products and merchandise may be very expensive and does not hold H&M Valley Ranch Store accountable for any of the above expense.

H&M Valley Ranch Store - Blog Postings

Out of common courtesy, H&M Valley Ranch Store would like to ask other western decor stores not to post links from their store to our blog. Upon doing so, we will remove them, just as we would suspect that you would do the same if H&M Valley Ranch Store were to post on your store blog a link to H&M. After six years in the business, H&M Valley Ranch takes great pride in the products we create and sell to our valued customers. It is also our desire to build not only a customer base in the United States, but worldwide - and doing that takes great products, #1 Customer Service, word-of-mouth advertising, and buying advertisement online and in print. That would be our advice to other western decor competitors - not tagging onto our blog site. H&M Valley Ranch Store has created a Google Blog site for the purpose of our customers - giving them new western decor ideas, a forum to ask questions, leave product reviews, and visit with other H&M Valley Ranch Customers.
If other western decor competitors do tag the H&M Valley Ranch Store Google Blog Site, it will be removed, sorry to be blunt!

Cowhide Rug - How to clean? Suggestions From H&M Valley Ranch Store

We have had several customers and Internet Searches ask, "How do I clean my cowhide rug?" It is depends on what you want. If you have spilled something on the cowhide, use a mild detergent such as Ivory liquid - Nothing with BLEACH additive!!! Be sure and check the label for ANY chlorine or other harsh chemicals. When you have your mild soap, take a damp cloth add a spot or two of soap and with the grain of the hair gentle remove the stain. Make sure to remove all soapy residue and let air dry. To clean on a regular basis just for dust - you can either shake the rug or vacuum with a gentle brush attachment - NEVER place your vacuum cleaner directly on the rug - it could get sucked into the vacuum and cause you to lose a clump of hair! Use attachments only when dry dusting rug.

Western Decor Trends for 2008

Look for the new cowhide rugs, these are not your ordinary cowhide rugs either – acid wash is the latest in cowhide rug fashion. But, don’t think in terms of just rugs, the hottest purses, belts, hats, pillows, furniture, and everything in between will have some patches of the acid cowhide. For examples of the acid wash, checkout the Western Christmas Gift Guide section in: American Cowboy, Cowboys & Indians, & Western Horseman magazines. H&M Valley Ranch will be listing their new acid wash line in late November of 2008. Be looking for the acid wash cowhide mirrors, chaise loungers, pillows and foot stools.

Hand-tooled leather items will be highly visible this fall and probably even into early spring. Fall colors of deep rust, dark hues of brown and age-old black are being created into leather & silver earrings, handbags, arms of furniture, and a host of other western treasures. Belts are also going to flash some hand-tooled leather, but look for a lot of acid wash hair-on hide as well.
