I introduce the topic of the video... Which is hand stitching leather without using the saddle stitch... but you already knew that.
0:54 How to Baseball Stitch Leather
I really like the look of the baseball stitch. Not a lot of leather crafters use it and they should.
6:03 How to Cross Stitch Leather
Cross stitch? X stitch? I don't know. All I know is it looks really cool on both sides. NThis is more frequently used by leather workers. I see it used on bags a lot.

It's not a straight replacement. Saddle stitch is definitely stronger than these, but I like using a variety of styles where I can. Thanks for watching!

That first one is super-useful adjoining two pieces of leather when you don't have enough leather to make a one-piece panel. It looks good, but doesn't work well for thin pieces of leather.

I liked and subscribed. Good clear teaching, calm and not rushed. I had seen the thread burner in a previous video several months ago and looked for it thinking I might try one but the reviews were not good. Have you had any issues since you purchased yours? One minor critique... The background music was a bit distracting to me. You spoke very well and don't need it.

I know that you might not see this video, But I am new to leather crafting and love your videos and want to try to get into them but I have no idea where to find leather that is decent but not going to break the bank. Do you have any tips on that or a video I could watch? Thank you!

I'd check out OA Leather Supply. They sell SB Foot leather which is a really nice oil tanned leather that sells for a pretty good price.

@susantipsyhealy7655 9 ай бұрын

What is best way to use baseball stitch and similar, when sewing the leather while the leather is against the object it is being sewed against (not to the object but sewn in place) ? I have a hard time getting the needle through the holes without breaking needles, punching through other than through the holes, etc.. Love your videos.

@daemoncapps8422 4 ай бұрын

I'm new to the leather world, but I'd imagine that's where curved needles come into play? I'd hope that you'd be able to sneak it under and pull through without too many issues I think.

Nice video. I actually started this past year about the same time you did. But I’m not crazy about wanting to be on video. Where did you get the thread zapper and those scissors? I’m still using these plastic scissors that came with my first kit but they are dying on me

Hey Bryan thanks for watching! Both the thread zap and snips are from Amazon. Super cheap too.

Stupid question (I'm watching on a small screen) - are the holes for the Baseball and Cross Stitches round or cut with a normal diamond stitching punch? Great tutorial btw - thanks for sharing :)

@BlackFlagLeatherGoods 3 жыл бұрын

There are no stupid questions. I like a round stitching hole on everything I make. I have done this with a diamond punch as well, though, and it works. It probably looks a bit better with the round holes, but I'm also biased. Thanks for watching!

@glenbuyer8738 3 жыл бұрын

If you use diamond chisel have the diamonds slanting down towards each other, meaning punch one side on the back, looks a lot nicer

How much thread do you measure out? I have about an 18" run? Like 4x or 6x?

@BlackFlagLeatherGoods Жыл бұрын

I usually do 4x.

@@BlackFlagLeatherGoods I do 4 for saddle, but the cross stitch, I went with 8x for the repair and reason I found this video. Whew, it got close. Thanks so much for the reply. And again the video was really helpful.
