I have been asked if I can put 3 letters on a pair of sheepskin car seat covers. Is this possible? Has anyone done it before? I don't know yet how thick they are, but they are real sheepskin. Thanks

I would not attempt this one. Have you thought of making a little patch to glue on it somehow?

No I hadn't thought of that. I haven't seen the covers yet. But this could be an option.

I have put a few designs on sheepskin car covers I hooped sticky stabilizer and stuck seat cover to it and added solvy on the top. Was fine

Consider your price to replace if something goes wrong. It's a no for me.

Use Florini stick stabilizer, it won't gum up your needle, a topper on top. BUT be sure the people know if it messes up, you can't replace the seat cover! They are costly. They may chg their mind then! Slow the machine down.

They are for my uncle, so he would be fine with that. Thanks

Yikes...sounds risky but if you do try it...I would think you would need to use a leather needle and stitch slowly...Perhaps you can find a small piece of sheepskin and give it a test before you jump in on the real thing...but I think I might pass on this one...

That's a good idea, Thanks

I have to agree that this would be a risky project, especially if you are using a home machine. I've seen this done, but only with industrial machines. If you are willing to purchase a new set of sheep skin covers to replace any you might ruin, then I'd try it.
Along with the hints given, I'd choose a font that is large, has a lot of underlay, and has a thin satin stitch border along the edges of each letter.

Thanks, I have a Janome MB4, think they class them as a home industrial machine. So it may be possible.
