      \"\"INSTRUCTIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
      \n

      First job: trace and cut out the templates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      2. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
      \n

      Then transfer to the leather and cut with the cutter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \n

      \n
      \n

      A large part of the cutting is done by freehand. So be careful to hold the cutter perpendicular to the piece of\nleather. Otherwise there is a risk of cutting the thickness at an angle, which will make it difficult to assemble the two parts of the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \n

      \n
      \n

      The sharp edges are softened with the edge cutter, then sanded with sandpaper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \n

      5.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We will now assemble and glue the first two parts of the case. Adhesive can be spread to the bonding surface with a small brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
      \n

      A few minutes later we assemble the 3 pieces and we are ready to use the sewing machine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Prior to using the sewing machine, the following steps must be followed: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      a) Choose leather that is suitable for machine stitching (no more than 1.5 mm thick). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      b) Choose a needle that is suitable for sewing leather, 90 or 100 \u2013 select it according to the thickness of your leather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      c) Make sure you have a presser foot for sewing leather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      d) Choose thread for sewing the leather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      e) Prepare the pieces of leather to be sewn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      f) Do a test and adjust the stitch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      g) Stitch your leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      8.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      On the ELNA eXcellence 720PRO sewing machine, attach the HP professional plate, HP professional presser foot, a needle for sewing leather and adjust the stitch according to your style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Stitch your leather and sew, leaving 2 mm at the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Finishing the edges (evening them out by trimming, dyeing the sides, and smoothing if necessary).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Congratulations you have just completed your pen case!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      * If you would like to dye the edges for an optimal finish, use a dye for leather, apply it cleanly with a small brush or cotton swabs and let the case dry. Example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
