  • Welcome to leather craft 101, the new miniseries aimed at helping you get started on your leather craft journey.
    In episode four I will show you how to hand stitch leather! We will go over the differences between machine and hand stitching, show you how to thread your needles so they don't fall off your thread and then show you both the modern way of stitching, where the holes are made with a stitching chisel as well as the traditional method using a stitching awl.
    I hope you enjoy the video.

      Unfortunately you did not explain what needle/s to use. Leather needles are different to needles used in sowing. From what I can see (and what I would use myself for such job) you are using ROUNDED HEAD needles.
      There are other needles for other leather work.

    Outstading tutorial! I was so slow at stitching and hurting my hands when going through 4 pieces of leather for a binding around a bag. Now I am way faster and it doesn't hurt my fingers at all! I am in love with leatherworking now! Thank-you for such clear and very well videographed lessons!!!

    I keep coming back to this tutorial. It helped me make beautiful stiches while making my first wallet without any errors.
    (With one exception when I didn't notice that I pierced the thread and had to stich back through the same hole in the thread to undo it :D)
    Definitely the best and the most straightforward tutorial on leather stitching on youtube.

    This was an excellent tutorial, including the great camera angles! Thank you for the clear and concise explanation of saddle stitching, including the use of stitching irons as well as pricking irons and an awl. I have struggled to sort out a number of different methods shown to saddle stitch and this video definitely reinforced the method I have settled on using, as well as introducing some additional tips. As noted below, the discussion of how to properly back stitch was extremely useful, as was the angle of pulling and tightening the thread after each stitch is made. I definitely loved the demonstration of the economy of motion employed when using the awl. Love your videos--keep up the great work!

    Jo, thank you so much for the excellent presentation of this comprehensive tutorial. You are an outstanding teacher: your use of acrylic to illustrate explanations of the hand v machine methods of the saddle stitch is inspired. Your step-by-step breakdown of how to ensure the successful combination of two needles is easy to follow. I particularly appreciated the tip re crossing the right-hand needle beneath the left - at first it seemed superfluous but, as I started to execute the stitches more confidently, I realised how this is a necessary step in training the right hand to operate efficiently once the actions become more automatic and fluid.
    I sought information in order to replace the trigger clip on my dog's lead. I am really chuffed with the result. Thank you, I would not have been able to achieve such a neat result without your instruction. Thank you for having the understanding, of what has become so natural to you, to break the saddle stitch down into such simple to follow instructions that everyone can achieve.
    I have really enjoyed stitching this small amount of leather and want to do more.
    Best RUclips presenter on working leather.

    I picked up a tip after being taught by J.H.Leather - if you use waxed thread, you can use a frim object (your knife handle) to push the thread flat at the end against another firm surface (table), and you then have a 'blade' end to your thread, which is easy to push through your needles eye.

    • @JHLeather
      @JHLeather  10 месяцев назад +1

    Agree with @hetcidskyja4668 - clearest demonstration/tutorial on saddle stitching I've seen. The perspex at the start was a stroke of genius and really made things clear. On a side note, when you were pulling the threads through with one arm up and the other down I had flashbacks to watching Ginger Rogers dancing on the tv (showing my age a bit) 😁

    Amazing video, technique and comprehensive instructions for saddle stitching! Have really enjoyed following your channel. May I ask, if I wanted the stitches on my finished side to angle as \ \ \ \ instead of / / / /, would I need to start threading from the opposite side and/or wrap the stitch under the needle instead of over the top? Thank you in advance!

  • @ToddJohnson15
    @ToddJohnson15 8 месяцев назад +1

    When you are starting with two backstitches your stitch holes are slanting up away from you. According to Armitage leather, your right hand needed should go on top of the left hand needle when moving in that direction. It then goes on the bottom when moving toward you. I'm not exactly sure why it matters though.

  • @isaachoffmeister4188
    @isaachoffmeister4188 6 месяцев назад +1

    SUCH a fantastic video! One thing that I haven't been able to find is a way to handstich where both sides of the stitch are symmetrical.
    I use French stitching irons and one side of the stitch will have slanted stitches and the other side will have much straighter stitches (one side the thread goes from the low side of one hole to the high side of the other closest, whereas the other goes from the high to the low on the farthest sides of the stitch). Any tips on how to make that not happen? I've experimented a lot and haven't been able to figure it out.
    Thanks a ton!

    • @Ashy-in4ym
      @Ashy-in4ym 2 месяца назад +1

      Try putting the right needle over the left instead of under when making the cross. And pull the right hand up and left down instead of the other way around. This works for me when using french pricking irons punched through all the way making holes on both sides.

    Enjoyed the video! I am having trouble with a 3 mm pricking iron and using .8 mm tigerthread. Any suggestions on how to keep from puncturing the existing thread when you backstitich?

    Firstly, love the videos and explanation, amazing stuff
    Secondly, what exactly is the purpose of casting the thread? Is it an issue if one deliberately avoids it, or forgets to do it?

      Thank you 😊 I would say a vegetable tanned 1.5 mm shoulder would be a good starting point as you can create a lot of really nice smaller items with this whilst you are practising. Some stores will also sell these in smaller precut panels so you won't need to purchase a whole shoulder but say an A4 sized piece. In the UK, Pro Atelier Plus and Artisans Leather sell smaller pieces. 👍

    Hello Joe. Thank you for the video. I have been experimenting with stiching in different arrangements to try to find the most pleasing for both sides. This comprises of the punched side on the right face, and then stitching with both left hand and right hand priority, tensioning both threads up, both down, left up right down and right up left down. The most pleasing seems to be right hand priority, tensioning both threads down. I can't find reference to anyone else doing this which is making me think I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas? (I have European style stitching irons if this makes any difference).

    A really interesting and useful tutorial. I'm a complete novice and am trying to too stitch a pair of suede boots I have just shortened. I am finding that the holes are not very visible using the punch. Us tjus normal when using suede?

    • @JHLeather
      @JHLeather  6 месяцев назад

      With suede, as it is a soft/fibrous leather then the holes can 'close up' making them hard to find, even though they are there.

    Great video... One minor comment. When running the needle thru the main thread length as demonstrated, the thread can slip out (as you stated). If instead you run the needle thru the short end, it will be locked and unable to slip out.

    I don't see what prevents the ends of the thread from eventually backing out of the stitch holes. There's no knot or anything else that's mechanically locking them in place; there's only friction keeping them in there. I would leave a little excess thread when cutting them (as opposed to cutting them flush) and then melt the ends and smush them down against the stitch holes with my finger. I know that doesn't look "pretty" but the thread could never back out of the holes without first breaking the now-mushroomed ends off.
    Also, what's the point of doing a back-stitch at the start of the stitching? With a saddle stitch the thread can never come out of the holes at the start of the stitching even without a back-stitch (unlike a sewing machine stitch), so is it just for extra strength in that area?

  • @Patmccalk
    @Patmccalk 8 месяцев назад +1

    I’m trying to grasp the concept of how the last half back-stitch locks that thread in place, every time I do this I trim them off, but then the half backstitch comes right back out the hole after a minute almost no effort

      Don't cut the thread flush with the leather - Leave a small length of thread sticking out, then melt it with a cigarette lighter.

      @@Patmccalk True, I'm using polyester thread but there are other types and some of them don't melt. Those are probably best dealt with by adding a secure knot of some sort.

      Nothing wrong with that, this was the way I was taught with my awl, so my left needle follows it back through the holes. So long as you're happy with your stitching, there is no need to change it 👍
