you can always draw your design on a piece of scrap
matereial first. and cut that out and see if it is really what you are
looking for.
then you could cut your wool pad and take it to a
saddle maker who has the right size machine for the job.
but, personally, i like my saddle pad to
be a bit on the large size so easy boots and whatever else i have attached to
the saddle has some padding for bounce. i think artie likes it this way,
too.
I was wondering if any of you have tried modifying a too-big wool pad
yourselves? I am looking for a little advice before attempting to cut it up. I
don't have a machine that can handle its thickness, so I most likely will sew
anything there is to sew by hand. Its an all-purpose pad, but its really big
and sticks out alot all around. I have two so if I scrap one, I still have the
other. :)But I'd like to avoid that. It is real wool and has wool on both
sides.
