How to Saddle Stitch Leather - A Hand Stitching Tutorial

Learning how to saddle stitch leather is one of the most basic, but important leather working skills you need to learn. Saddle stitching is stronger and more durable than a machine (lock) stitch; although it does take a bit of time to master.
In this video, I show you how I saddle stitch and give you a few pointers. I know this is a bit of a longer tutorial, but saddle stitching is just one of those things where you need to invest time to get it down.

8:17 "left hand, pull up and away...right hand, pull down and away" THIS tip really IMPROVED the look of my stitches a lot!!! THANK YOU!

I love the dark video editing. It really gives me the feeling my phone just went into power saving mode. Really makes you lean in and focus to be able to see what’s going on.

Thank you! To be honest, this is an old video that was filmed at a time when I didn't have adequate lighting. I have plans to do an updated version of this.

I feel like it would be easier to see what is going on with the needle from an aerial pov

You are 100% right! I just didn't have one when I shot this video. I am planning an updated one.

Yes another view would help a lot. I have no clue what's going on 😢

Thank you for showing how to do this stitch. I was wondering how to do it. I literally have just started my leather making journey this week and have watch a number of your videos.

@2woofs784 Ай бұрын

I'm new to the whole stitching, leather, tying off and everything. I have watched a number of your videos and they have been very helpful but I couldn't see anything in this video. I'm gonna give a a try and see how it goes.

@felixhenson9926 Ай бұрын

Yeah i'm gonna look up an instructional guide with diagrams then try use that in conjunction with this, his hand blocked a lot of what i wanted to see

Maybe the camera above your hands would give a clearer view. Your hands got in the way for me.

You're definitely right. This is one of my older videos. I have plans on remaking it with a little more production value

Very helpful video. Stitching sounds easy but is hard to do well.

Thank you! It is. Takes a lot of practice.

very helpful video, thank you for the technique with the needles in a "T" shape, good for muscle memory. got one question, about the thread thickness? thanks in advance

@joshua7233 Жыл бұрын

The camera angle made it difficult to see what you're doing. I can't see through your hands. Otherwise, great video, thanks!

@jmlewis01 5 ай бұрын

Hi, what is the purpose of looping the stitch over the needle?

@BlackFlagLeatherGoods 5 ай бұрын

Good question. It is what gives your stitches a slight slant. If you want them to be flat, then don't do it. It's really just a style thing.

@evelkauchnotqa1488 Жыл бұрын

Wow- ty I was wondering so it’s like a running stitch meets a back stitch? I am going to need to practice

@BlackFlagLeatherGoods Жыл бұрын

It definitely takes some practice to nail down. Took me forever.

@@BlackFlagLeatherGoods thank you. I noticed its been a while on projects on you tube. My other question is regarding gauntlets. Could or is it like the cup sleeve?

@captaind.clarke1220 Жыл бұрын

I prefer to stitch with the right needle going through first. Will this cause any problems? Thanks for these videos!

@BlackFlagLeatherGoods Жыл бұрын

It's no problem either way. Just do it the opposite way I did. Thanks for watching!

Awesome, I'm located in Norway and I really want to get into this. Seems like a relaxing "hobby" I could use. But do you have a beginner tools tips video? I browsed your videos but didn't see.

His coffee cup holder is a nice beginner project plus the template is simple, and free. Oh and it doesn't require a huge cut of leather. 😊
