I've always heard it called a "stitch prick"...what is the difference between single and double prick stitch?
I wish I knew. AFAIK, there's nothing available in the States. Carreducker in London (?) offers them, if I recall correctly.Thank you DWF II.
Maybe you can also help me to find those plastic covers that shoemakers use to cover the uppers during the process of bottom making?
Thank you, but do you know where Carreducker get those covers from?I wish I knew. AFAIK, there's nothing available in the States. Carreducker in London (?) offers them, if I recall correctly.
Regrettably, I don't. And I probably wouldn't order them from across the pond even if I did. That said, offering them is part of his business model which includes the teaching he does. If i were in his shoes (no pun intended) i wouldn't make the source widely available either.Thank you, but do you know where Carreducker get those covers from?

I use shrink wrap tubing and it works well...once you get past all the fussing and cutting and taping that is needed to make the cover conform, more or less loosely, to the shape of the last.
Get your local polyethylene manufacturer to make them up for you, they aren’t particularly complicated. They’re just plastic bags
Make those bags yourself - use a bag sealer for sous vide cooking!
I think just the sealing bit was implied rather the man the vacuum
I think just the sealing bit was implied rather the man the vacuum, the covers are just folded over like a whole cut pattern and the “back seam” is bonded with a heat sealer
