I hope that you guys enjoyed this demonstration of how to clean an edge and run some thread through it using a saddle stitch. Of course, this is very prescriptive and there are lots more ways that you could do this - I've only shown a saddle stitch with a wooden clamp, two needles and an awl, not all of which are necessary!
Unfortunately, you can only squeeze so much detail into seven and a half minutes of footage.

There's something about your videos that just make me want to get my leather tools out a craft away like a loony. Another brilliant tutorial. Keep them coming. Cheers 🇬🇧

Thank you! Thank you for not only showing us what to do and how to do it, but also why you do things. So many other videos lack the explanation of the small details. Again thanks

Ah, thank you. You are a champ! New to hand stitching so going to save this to work side by side until I get the stitching process committed to memory. Keep up the good work. Much appreciated!

You're very welcome, thanks for the kind words! I stitched many an ugly seam before I felt like I had a handle on it, best of luck!

Once again, you have answered a question I've always wanted to know the answer to. Thank you. I've looked st leather products before and always wondered how they got the stitching so neat. Punch the wholes first and use 2 needles. Genius!! Hope you're doing ok. Looking forward to the next video.

Do I need to stitch it or is glueing the leather enough?

@juliabreckner2759 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah! all of the detail :) Is this all the same project (costrel? probably spelled wrong...) or is this many different ones?

@Cxizent 2 жыл бұрын

These have all been the same costrel, yes! I've actually got several costrels in different states of completion, but this video series has all been the same item :)

That is not saddle stitching !! Saddle stitching is using your awl to make the hole as you go , not punched first !!

I'm sorry that we disagree about the definition, where are you getting yours from? Because a "saddle stitch" refers to the finished product (a stitch that consists of two threads running in opposite directions, as opposed to a machine stitch which has each thread on one side of the piece), so really the awl isn't even necessary to create a saddle stitch, it's just a matter of preference for me. If you'd like to read more, this site has some great diagrams to illustrate the point: www.waskerd.com/stitching.html
