I've been making holsters and scabbards since 1965 and never saw the piercing the thread with the needle trick. Always had to keep adjusting to keep the thread in the eye! Thank you!

This was the best stitching by hand I ever saw...so easy...Thank You.

the background track in this video is so refreshing

Thank you so much, I strained my mind to know how it is done and its simple. Perfectly narrated in text.

The most helpful video I've found and it doesn't even have a single spoken word. Great job this has really helped me a lot!

The best tutorial I have seen thus far!!! Very consise, thorough and to the point!! Keep it up!

Excellent video. The absence of any sound makes it easier to follow.

Great, simple intro to leather sewing vid. Thanks

Incredible tutorial here Jonny! Really admire your handcraftsmanship. Bravo!

Thank you. I have just bought a kit now i know what some of tge items are and how ti use them. Great tutorial

Hi Jonny, I do not have the technical abilities you have to make this video so please accept these comments as they are intended, which is to help you improve your stiching. I was shown how to stitch in a a saddle shop in the late 60's and early 1970's. First get some blunt point, egg eye needles such as John James Harness needles size 1,2,3 or 4 depending on your projects. Give your self room to work by using a decent length of thread, then when you start sewing start away from you and sew towards yourself.If you follow this sequence your sewing will improve and become faster.Push the awl blade through the second or third stitch mark as you should always double stitch your start and finish of the stitching and in thick leather double lock the final stitches.. When you are sewing towards yourself push the awl through the stich mark and then lay the needle on top of the awl blade so that when to withdraw the awl the tip of the needle falls into the hole made by the blade. Push the needle into the hole and then with the second needle place it behind the point of the first needle to make a cross, pinch the cross between your forefinger and thumb, pull the needle through the hole and at the same time place the little finger of your right hand on top of the thread that has just been drawn through the hole. Now rotate your right hand and lift your right elbow so that the needle that formed the cross lines up with the hole, place the tip of the needle into the hole and at the same time pull the thread with your left hand at a rate just a little faster than the rate you are feeding the needle through the hole at. This way it is not possible to split your thread with with the needle. When the tip of that needle comes through the hole loop the thread you have been pulling, over the top of the needle then pull the needle and threads through on both sides. pull your right hand thread slightly towards you and down and the left hand thread up and away. That way the thread is forced to lay correctly and each stitch is locked with an overhand granny knot inside the leather. Then repeat for each stitch. We used to be allowed 5 minutes to fit a buckle and leather loop on to a belt and that included skiving the end of the strap punching the hole for the tongue of the buckle, pricking for the stitches at 7 per inch and making the leather loop and then stitching the 2 inches down each side and sewing the loop in place as you went. If it was not to standard you were docked for your time and the wasted leather. All the best . Jeff.

I truly appreciate this tutorial. Thanks.

Very simple and easy to follow! Thanks for the video!

Já assisti vários videos sobre o assunto;porém,nenhum foi tão explicativo como o seu,muito obrigado.Eterna gratidão.

It's been so long since I saw a video without any background music or noise. I had to sit down and think why I was feeling so awkward while watching this. Thanks for the vid tho :D

Now I know what to do with all that wax thread I have sitting in my garage. Gotta leather upholstery project and was about to go out and by thread - great tutorial - thanks

Many thanks for the educative video.

This is so helpful. Thanks for demystifying the process for me.

Wish I’d know some of these techniques years ago when leathering Gaff Jaws for an old sailing boat!!

thank you! this was so helpful and easy to understand.

Very easy and simple to understand, thank you!

Perfect. Making a crochet hook pouch in 15 min.

hi, just a tip, try to make stitches backwards, not forward, you'll have a better control of the whole view, and is faster

Thank you for this video

Thank you for your tutorial, fantastic

Can you make more leather working videos? I'm trying to figure out how to make a quiver for my arrows and some other archery gear. So far this is the best video on leather working I've seen.

Would it be the same if I'm sewing leather on a shoe that's not leather ?

Thanks a lot!

Okay got it put two needles at each end of the string before stitching.

pls upload some more videos of leather bag .. the way u have explained this one .. in the same way.. if u can

Thank you VERY much for this vid!

Grover can use for shoes ?

thank you.

What can I use instead of a over stich wheel ?

Thanks!!

awesome thanks

I Like it

Your video is very easy to follow and I enjoyed it. Could use some music though. My main thing is you make the statement that punching each hole as you go make it easier to sew versus punching many holes at once. Curious about your logic

Where did you get this tracing wheel if i may ask

nice.

What keeps the threads you cut off from unraveling through the leather holes?

How secure is that back stitch? Seems like it can come undone with heavy use.

Hello and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I have a question about the kind of thread that I need in order to make a leather sunglass case.I appreciate if you can help me out with this question and give me your suggestion about the thickness and kind of material of the thread ( polyester, hump, etc). Thank you so much in advance!

Is there a special glue one should use? Or can you use regular Elmer's Glue-All?

hi, thanks for the great video! Question... what kind of glue are you using? thank dude! you're awesome!!!

Thanks for the video. What thread where you using?

Or, in the US, if it possible

Cool* nice video*

Hello, I have a question: How do I know how long my thread has to be?? Hope you can help me, I've been messing up many times now on a project and it sucks. Great vid too :)

What type of stitching string do i use? Are there different kinds? I have been buying tools for years now and yet to make anything. I just bought veg leather so i am going to try to make a long men's leather wallet. Any free patterns for long leather wallet to download? Great video I watched it 5 times now.

He didn't locked the stitch any where , would is be any time soon??

Great video! How do you make sure the thread is not getting loose when the item moves while being used?

What do you need to get to hold the leather in place while you stitch?

Jim, What size awl and needles? Where did you get thread?

Hi I would like to get these tools and we do not have these tools in Iraq how to get them thank you

Where in Los Angeles can I find these tools? Please.

That is not a saddle stitch. If the thread breaks anywhere along the stitches, the thread can unravel.

would it be easier to punch the all the holes first, or is it best to do it one at a time?

is their no sound?

tools? where can I purchase these exact ones

I want to see the tool you are using to hold the leather? We name that mordaza in Dominican Republic.

Tools cost??

ارجو معرفة كيفية الحصول علي عدة المحفظة الهاند ميد

what is the name of this type of paper of color green with yelow lines behing your tools... ?

Great video. Needs some light music though. Otherwise its great! Thank you.

What kind of white glue are you using on this video?

Wow that a lot of work but they say anything worth doing is worth doing right. I guess i have so much money already stuck in making animal skin leather i minus well finish it.

Can I fix My bike leather like that,? It's been sitting int the closet for several years because I can't find anyone to fix it, Stitches are breaking cuz I've had it for years. I ain't buying a new one, cuz it just ain't the same..

Why go over the stitches with an over stitch wheel if you've already stitched it up?

Sir where can I buy these tools you are using I live close to Jacksonville fl

What tool are you using to punch the holes?

👍👍
