@LouieGrind Жыл бұрын

Nice job! If you cross-loop them in the last hole twice you don't need any white glue which gives a little stain.

@WillHodges Жыл бұрын

That’s true, part of the reason for using the white glue was to demonstrate how to secure this type of thread. But you’re right that would also have worked well!

@daspicsman 6 ай бұрын

Ok but how did you get the circumference of the leather perfect around the handle?

@twtchr44 8 ай бұрын

Is there any particular reason you started at the bottom of the handle and not the top? Or does it not matter?

@glacialimpala 4 ай бұрын

I wonder if this shape of hole is really optimal for this stitch due to the direction of the pull... But then again the stitch won't be under so much pressure to actually tear through 😅

@dugfivgui Жыл бұрын

What length thread do you need to cut for this stitch? 4x? 6x?

@cirelachlan 7 ай бұрын

I do 7 to 8x. I do the same double loop as the start on the end except end on the backside and tie a hidden knot

Except why does no one tell you how much thread to cut? Went with the ol’ triple the length of your work advice and still ran out😑

@WillHodges Жыл бұрын

Depends on several factors but for something like this, go with 4-5x. I’m thinking about doing a video on thread cutting length

@thenande 5 ай бұрын

You can calculate it just putting the leather edges together and see the distance from one hole to a hole on the opposite side (add leather thickness too), then multiply that by the total number of holes and add some extra buffer.

For reals though, if you don't use one you should give it a whirl, they improve accuracy and reduce hand fatigue if you're doing a lot of stitches, plus you'll never slip and accidentally delaminate your own fingernail whilst pushing a needle through.

I don’t think it’s his fault you have a poor understanding of basic stitching

@susantipsyhealy7655 3 ай бұрын

This is a slightly advanced stitch method, you should be familiar and comfortable with basic stitch techniques before progressing to this method. The Art of Hand Stitching by Al Stohlman is a great book to learn from. It teaches things like needle threading, the science behind hand stitching, thread length, needle choice, the classic saddle stitch and beyond. Hope this helps in your future journey in learning this craft.

@firstnamelastname5596 3 ай бұрын

You stitch leather with two needles. That’s like asking someone to explain how he cut that leather without explaining it.
