I'm wondering when and in general max how many time should I message my customers during the shipping period?
Is it too much? What are your experiences/feedback from your buyers?
Thank you!
I used black tokonole on the inner of a project I'm working on, but even after a few days, I can get some black stains on my fingers, if any water touches the surface. Is it normal? Can I make it somehow more durable? thank you
I've purchased this electric edge creaser in March from JunLin Leather with tips, stand and orion (cork) handle. I have to downsize my shop, and I'm considering selling the whole thing, together only. It depends on how much this could go for. If I would lose a significant amount of money, I'll rather keep it :(
I paid (you can check the site + I have the invoice too)
$ 210 for the QinHuang creaser
$ 65 for the cork handle
$ 144 for the FN creasing tips (fn1, fn2, fn3)
$ 96 for the F2 and F3 creasing tips
$ 48 for the wax spatula
$ 50 forr the stand
Total: $ 613
+ don't ask me how much for customs
Given it's literally used like 10 times with the FN1 tip and the spatula, and is in perfect condition (half a year old)
The price is $ 550 usd

i’m working with a 3mm crimson french set and one from junlin (2.75). what I was wondering about, was the needle size. From the beginning I’ve been using S+U XS-953-7, the thinnest smallest one from the lineup. I thought the ones longer, thicker would surely widen the stitching hole thus make the end result look ugly. what do you think?
| 953-7 | 42mm | 0.70mm | 0.30 ~ 0.35mm |

feels my rocd flared up now that my wedding day is 2.5 weeks close
I recently watched the new spiderman movie and it made it worse. How in love they are in the movie, and in the news, and how "they can't live without the other". I'm not like that , feels like I can live without anyone honestly. This leads down a dark path.
I’m about to get married and seems like my family members actively pulling me back to that childhood dynamic. guilttripping, serious expectations etc. Even now around our wedding. how do you handle it? you just say this is my family now, I pay more attention to them vs your “childhood family”?
I'm looking for a cloth material I saw in a leathercraft video for my project. I hoped you can help me identifiying it, because it looks like some kind of bookbinding cloth
under the video the creator said it's microfiber, but I saw some examples that are quite similar

thank you!
I can see there are lots of people facing the same problem, but...
as title says my account got disabled from out of the blue, without any reason provided. I clicked on appeal and 1 hour later I got the second email, that it was rejected, and decision is final.
since then I filed an appeal at Appeals Centre Europe, but it was weeks ago.
I subscribed to meta verified on instagram, so I can contact customer support, but I got stuck in a loop.
Not sure what are my options here. Anyone faced the same thing?
thank you

sziasztok, egy olyan helyzetbe lettem kényszerítve, amiért el kell adnom a lakásom. Az épületben többségi tulajdonos lett egy kínai befektető, aki mindent blokkol, fenyeget (oroszországhoz hasonlítja magát, a kisebbséget pedig ukrajnához stb). Röviden, ezért menekülni kell az ügyvédek szerint. Erre nem is kérek tanácsot, már jegyzőtől, polgármestertől, több ügyvédtől kértünk véleményt.
A lakás belvárosi, körülbelül 100 millió Ft-ot ér. Most házasodunk, és gondolkodunk gyerekben. Ezért , HA elmegy, kicsivel nagyobb lakásra váltanánk. Ehhez viszont hitel kell majd nyilván.
A kérdés, hogy vajon érdemes albérletbe költözni, a pénzt befektetni, vagy pedig bevállalni a hitelt.
De a fő kérdés a befektetés. Jelenleg van valamennyim, ami megborult kicsit az EUR/HUF árfolyam miatt, a portfoliom elég konzervatív, nem vagyok egy hatalmas konckázattűrő természetű.
Köszönöm
Jelenleg állampapírom, bitcoinom (ez régebbi sztori. már nem hiszem, hogy vennék. eladni nem fogom, miközben 60k-n ücsörög) és tbszem van
követtem korábban a Bangó Sándor féle interjú után a Zsolti bácsi ügyet, de mára már teljesen elvesztem. Egy olyan bizalmi hullámvasút ez az egész megint, amivel nehéz mit kezdeni. Kemény volt az interjú, utána a srác visszavonta a dolgot, Juhász Péter tolja az ügyet, mint süket a csengőt, most pedig valami kontroll kérdésről van szó. Magyar Péter pedig azt mondta, nem ejtette ki soha azt, hogy "Zsolti bácsi". Oké politika, a tiszára szavaztam, de van itt bármi esélye annak, hogy kiderül mi a valódi helyzet, vagy folyamatosan innentől ide oda lesznek rángatva az emberek. Elhihetem, nem hihetem el stb
I'm experimenting with this t-slot setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDWO76w2xtg&t=236s
but the pockets with their "lining" turn out so thick, that it seems thicket if I would just go with the usual t-slot method (no lining for pockets). how thin are those leather and lining pieces in the video? 0.2mm for lining and 0.8 for the leather? :/
what do you think?
hi all, I'd like to ask for some feedback on our new etsy shop and the brand itself indirectly too (main activitiy on instagram). I'm struggling a bit on how to tackle the lack of views. If I should pay for fb / ig ads, or ugc contact? We just made a proper legint sale (not to friend, not family) and had an amazing review.
the page is https://www.etsy.com/shop/slownotejournal
I appreciate the insights!
I tried 3-4 edge paint brands so far, and I share some thoughts about them:
Fenice edge paint
+ dries fairly quick
+ – quite thin
– doesn't cover well - I used a million layers, still it was patchy
– feels rigid, not elastic/rubbery at all - I think it could crack eventually
– by sanding it drops an incredible amount of dust - you have to be very careful, bc it's easy to go to far with sanding
Giardini
+ thicker paint
+ covers well
+ needs less sanding than the other 2 - edge painting is easy-ish with this one
+ flexible/rubbery - less than uniters slightly
– dries quickly, difficult to add a bit more to certain spots
– the endresult feels a touch poorer quality than uniters
Uniters
+ covers well
+ dries with medium speed
+ nice colors
+ viscosity
– it's subjective, but feels overhyped. maybe bc of my first experience with it, the place I ordered from supplied it in small glass jars. after a single use, and like an hour after closing the lid, the whole thing sealed shut. Legit shut. Couldn't open it without breaking the lid.
– needs more layers, because somehow it "falls in" if the edge has more layers stitched together
Other products I'm not 100% about:
Uniters Primer - by previous epxperiments it hurt more than it helped. made the surface like it had glue on. even after sanding it
Uniters Bright shine
Would love how to use this one. Makes the edge paint nice and shiny, but makes the surface really uneven. When sanding it goes away super easy.
these are subjective!
we just started building our new brand with my partner, and wanted to see what you guys think. which is better? etsy or own webshop?
we only have a few items, and not planning to have more than 5 at once. customization is out of scope for us.
etsy is slacking , although we just opened the shop a month ago
thank you!
We just opened a handmade leather journal shop and lunched our brand with my fiancee.
https://slownotejournal.etsy.com
Would love to share it with you, because we just got our first review after our first sale (legit sale from US).
I had this insight, that I used to be able to sit at a coffeeshop in the morning and read for half an hour, or in lunch break. But now I can’t. I keep bringing my book, and simply just end up with my phone. Notifications etc
This bothers me a lot, and I can feel that stopping this constant rush takes some effort, and others might be in the same boat.

We just opened an etsy shop with my fiancee and made a sale from the US (we’re EU based) and I’m so happy about it. Cherry on top we got a wonderful review too. How should we use this review, or what would you do with it? Social media(we only have a few followers just yet)? A badge? Something else?
Thank you!
