This was an amazing video! I really appreciate how you not only went through all your steps, but included what materials worked best for you. Thanks so much for this!!
Thank you for this very informative and interesting video: the videos about the process of sewing fur almost do not exist, so your content is unique. Bravo for this beautiful work of art and thanks again for sharing. Don't stop ! You got a new subscriber 😊
I Also Have a Furrier’s Knife Got On Etsy & The Extra Blades On Amazon That Knife Really Helps Cutting My Skins When I’m Stitching & Making Bags or Pillows
I really hope you continue to make more videos! I think its so interesting and I really enjoy watching! I subscribed and am looking forward to the next video!!
Best video I’ve seen on DIY real fur sewing, thanks for sharing and teaching, I hope u video and explain more projects in the future! What kind of sewing machine is that?
Thanks, I use a Bonis A16 model fur machine. Its for general use for most types of fur, fox, coyote, raccoon, beaver. You could contact Bonis fur machine Co they might have used model available.
It is a Bonis A 16 fur machine, this type of machine is mostly for sewing furs. The machine type has variations, but machines similar to this have been used since 1920's
After watching your work was pretty interested in buying a lamb skin shearling but seeing how picky you are I saw the other sellers work not being picky and definitely not interested in there lack to detail as you. I'm sure it's pretty expensive to get a queen or king size? Do you do other furs for less money?
@@jessewatt8394 I make these in all types of fur, my labor on queen to king is about 7 to 800.00. Plets I can get from a super fur buyer and run from 85 up depending on fur type. I'm currently working on a beaver and that will take about 16 for a queen size.
I am so glad you made this video and the others. After thinking of a raccoon throw for the past couple of weeks, I realized I had no idea how they're made. I hope you keep the videos coming, even if it's a similar project, like a different size. Very interesting, and you've got me wanting to give it a try. Thanks again I suppose all I have to ask is where did you learn these techniques from? (edited for autocorrect error)
A small or large throw or blanket is just adding or deleting pelts, once they are blocked out the first time you get an idea of size, same technique use for raccoon, ( they vary more in size) , coyote are larger, hand sewn or machine sewn basically same procedure, good luck !
I'm learning about fur. How do you know how much to stretch? This is a stunning blanket and excellent info. I hope you add many more instructional how to's. Hard to find good info about how to stretch finish and sew fur.
How much can you stretch, a fresh pelt has a lot of give, I stretch until it feels tight, on a fox the bellies are real stretchy , where the center part of skin is a bit less so, start at bottom work to each side then up to the top, you can always move a few staples in or out , keep your center on center. Hope this helps. Good luck sewing. Thanks you !
@@McCormickLeatherandFurs thanks for the great info. Starting with racoon. Similar to fox ? As far as stretching? I'm assuming I'll have to do the wetting and stretch too. Planing a collar for first project. Want to back it with suede and maybe some type of natural fiber to make it very full looking.
@@McCormickLeatherandFurs Will you be making more videos? Interested in hats too. The glamorous ones with the round shapes. So hard to tell the shape of the pattern just by looking at the finished fur.
Bonis fur machine company is good source, check local furriers in your area someone might have a used one. Ebay and Craigslist. New they are about 2600 with the table. Mine is Boinis A 16 model sews coyote, beaver. Fox, raccoon, mink pretty versatile
Fur is not WASHED it is cleaned furrier method usually at a fur retail store that services furs for cleaning and storage can do this easily. Don's Leather and Fur Cleaning in Minneapolis cleans fur blankets, coats , rugs. Just don't clean with water it will shrink and be ruined.
I guess you could put whatever you'd like for a liner / reverse side. But no, I don't particularly like faux fur or fleece on my blankets because no structure it stretches does not keep its shape , it's a bit more bulky also.
Yes I do, feel free to contact me, sometimes Facebook is easier, I have business page McCormicks Leather and Furs, lots of photos of projects on my page you could see.
Basically I'm just stitching around a block of 2 or 3 squares on the lining side, using a regular needle, just doing a hidden back stitch that barely catches all layers, not to tightly, it helps hold layers together.
Cold tape is applied along edges before cutting it helps make it easy to trim the fur and keeps it from stretching while its sewn by fur machine. It works great. Buy from furrier supplier like Samuel Bauer
I'd check out some fur hand sewing videos for techniques. Some use sinue and glover type hand sewing needles they have a 3 point kind of razor point. But fox is so thin you could probably use a reg needle. Another type thread is rices silamide its pre waxed comes in a skein I'd use size C thread the A size is to fine. Good luck hope this helps
Hi, I was wondering if I send you some fur, how much would it cost to make a blanket? My husband traps, and we really want to make a blanket, we just don't know where?
Hi I love your video 📹 your a star 🌟. I love real fur and live in the u.k. I'd like a coyote fur blanket to fit a double bed 🛌. Do you own a fur coat? I have a full pelt blue fox jacket. Thank you 😊 Jamie
Thanks so much for liking the video, If you were in the US I could make you a coyote blanket. I do own about 14 fur coats, vests and jackets and my family has quite a few also. Your blue fox jacket sounds great. Yes fur is fun to use and wear!
@@purifiedlife4615 on this fox blanket I put a a inter lining as stay cloth to give strength to the fox,, fox is thin , it helps to maintain shape and gives strength
You don't WASH fur, you clean at a furrier, use fur method cleaning check local furrier that does cleaning & storage. In Mpls area I'd recommend Don's Fur and Leathrr cleaners 612 721- 4881 you can ship and fur oe leather to them for cleaning and repair
To nail the pelts to the nailing board. I used a tacker with 3/8 lenght staples, a hand type of stapler I purchased at furrier supplier Antiono Proetti Furrier supplier. a shorter lenght staple 1/4 inch is for shorter hair furs. I you choose to buy this tacker / stapler I'd buy box of each size staples. Good luck on your project
The sewing machine is Bonis A-16 Fur Sewing Machine. The blanket would probably retail for about $1750.00 . I was using clients fur only charged labor for the job. If you want one made up I could source any type of fur. Thanks for watching.
It is a fur machine, it's a Bonis model A16 for general weight furs, another brand is Techsew. Both are good to use. Try a furrier in your area and see if they might have a used one for sale. New they start about 1600 You can youtube fur machines for more demos on how they work.
Basically yes you'd find center back of the rabbit pelt, wet stretch for either more width, or more lenght, trying to keep a standard lenght,, then trim sew pelts evenly in size,, sew together side to side first and add next row above original, But with rabbit run hair all same direction so the above row will blend nicely with the original row . After that is done then wet stretch again the entire blanket to just get the ripples out . Goog luck
Price for labor on 16 pelt size I charge about 550.00 to make up from clients tanned furs. If I need to supply the fox they vary in price but estimate would between 75 to 100 each tanned. Larger size blanket is more $
I have a Bonis Fur Machine modle A16, the Techsew company makes a good fur machine also a lot of my friends use that. Cost wise a Bonis was about 2500 where a techsew is probably about 1600 , searh for a used one you might be lucky
Wow what a beautiful handcrafted blanket! You don't ever see these for sale. I have problems getting a button properly sewed on a shirt so I doubt that I will be attempting something like you have created. It is just nice to see that somebody still has the skills to do this work. Do you have an approximate guess as to how many hours it takes to make one of these?
Thanks for the feedback, I would guess I had about 35 to 40 hours in this blanket, with alot of inbetween drying time each time I blocked out pelts during the process. If your ever interested in purchasing a similar blanket let me know I have some trapper friends I can get pelts from to make another for you.
Thank you so much Deanna. I have a construction company but looking to get into this as well. First as hobby and private use but perhaps could start doing this professionally. This is a really good video for my insights ! Thank you so much ! I’ll send you an email for some questions about your trapper friends and pelts available if you don’t mind. Kind regards, The Hague, Netherlands
Great video! Do you sew for others? I have 22 coyote pelts and I’d like a throw made like that. Excellent work very impressive. I’m interested in having you sew a project for me if you are?
Yes, I could locate pelts and make one up for you, if you have your own pelts could make up out of those also. Fox, coyote,raccoon or beaver. Price depends on size. Let me know if its a consideration for you Thank you !
@@alexstillman1285 hi, one skin will make a pair, lenght usually 14" from longest finger tip or i could go 16 , cost if your fur $145 pair the liners are polartech 300 and removable.

I harvest my own coyotes and they are all different sizes. Will this make the process a lot harder or any different?
Faster ! coyotes are larger so you won't need as many, watch my coyote blanket video.
you can trim your coyotes to a similar size once they are all blocked giving you equal size pelts to work with.
