a 2007 Big Dog Mastiff that is…yes, I have finally found someone wanting to leather up a Big Dog chopper and Mike’s blue and silver beast looks sweet with it. Mike picked up a custom Danny Gray seat with blue stitched flames not too long ago and asked if they knew someone who could/would make a bib to go along with it. A few conversations and stitches later and Mike’s sporting a tuxedo style tank bib with a royal blue maltese cross inlay with silver heavy stitching. Enjoy the pics…
Cheers,
Chris

I’m happy to report that the project worked out nicely and I can now offer custom stitching on tank bibs, fender bibs and bag flaps in some basic styles like flames, tribal patterns and multiple color geometric patterns. I haven’t tried words or small detailed stitching yet due to time but plan to get that on the drawing table by the end of the year. I mention basic shapes and styles as I am doing this ‘by hand’ meaning I am hand guiding the sewing machine to make the designs. Stitching takes me almost as long as hand tooling does (due mainly to taking my time with a new technique) but the stitching rates will be 1/2 of tooling rates, quoted by the hour, plus the thread cost since it is less labor intensive and I will get faster eventually! 😉
Here are some pics of my first forays into custom stitching, if you have a request feel free to drop me a line. There is a great selection of colors available and some I already have in stock. Here is a link to my preferred vendor’s color list: http://tinyurl.com/bcdftvu if you want to see what will work best with your project before hand. And just so those curious few have one less question to ask, yes I will be offering multiple color stitching, it simply requires an extra thread charge for the additional color(s).
Enjoy!
