I do this type of lacing like once a year. I always check back at this video to refresh my memory. So much easier to understand than the lacing book that I have.
Thank you. Back in 7th/8th grade leather shop (1967/68; 1968/69 school years) the double loop stitch was my favorite and most used. I haven't done any leather work since, but plan on doing some again soon. My old leather shop instructor Mr. Reins (he also taught my dad and his two younger brothers, and my two younger brothers) would roll in his grave if he knew I'd forgotten how do do this stitch. As for splicing ... we removed the needle, squared and beveled the end, glued another length of lace after squaring and beveling the end of it,, to the original lace then re-attached the needle and continued on. If memory serves, our glue was rubber cement for the lace splices, and when necessary the edges of what we were making. Beveling and gluing seems an easier way than stitching in a separate lace, then bringing the original lace over to the end of the splice. How do you hide the length of original lace laying along the side of however many stitches were made with the splice lace, when you bring it over to the end of the splice? What if the original lace isn't long enough to go the length of the splice?
id never done a double loop stitch or a wallet, so I bought one of those precut kits with instructions, but their instructions on the actual stitch are ATROCIOUS! couldn't follow them at all! thanks to yall I've completed my first wallet and the double loop is mesmerizingly beautiful!
Very Nice, very educational....slow and deliberate explanation during his work so you can visualize and understand while he his demonstating the stitch...5 STAR Video !!!!
Yes so great to find and see this. A lady from church brought her worn out Bible and asked if I could re fasten the loose signatures and make a nice durable cover. There shouldn't be any problem drilling and lasing the signatures but I had wondered how to fix the outer edges of the leather cover. On scrap I've tried scarfing and folding but it looks amateur or even Kindergarten class quality. This lacing technique should look nice plus give the outer edges more strength. Thanks again. I luv RUclips crafters. Really wish I knew how to edit how to videos. I would like to give back to this community part of what I have learned and pass my metal working knowledge on to whomever that could use it.
This is exactly what I’m looking for. I inherited a tooled leather handbag from my grandmother, and the lacing has determinate day. I should be able to follow these instructions!
Thank you. I hadn't done this type of lacing for over 20 years. As I watched (and re-watched) it all came back to me!! Thank you for having these video tutorials available.
If you haven't done so find a beginners set of tools and practice practice practice you will improve only by doing it. Now there are online things like this. I learned by trial and error. Remember once you hit the tool it's almost impossible to correct the stamp you just put down crooked. I learned a couple things watching this about the starting and finishing the lacing. I used to do the X thing like when he started lacing but there is another way where you start by making a loop around the end of your lacing that looks the same as when he finished and had that loop that he went into to end the lacing. Good luck with your crafting and start simple with some like keychains fobs etc. Don't start with a wallet they are more involved to make and you may be discouraged if you have a bad experience. Don't give up :)
@Zissou1107 The "strap" is a pre-cut 1/8 inch (3.175mm) wide leather lace. Yes, you can cut lace yourself with a lace cutter. The needle is a 1190-00 two-prong lacing needle. All of these items can be found on our websites
wow thank you! i collect western hats amd wanted to do this on the brim of a few of my buckaroo styles. very helpful and you guys have a wonderful supply of leather goods.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your amazing skill and talent. I'm only sorry that this medium leaves us all open to the mean, nasty and cowardly comments from some! Please continue to share your knowledge as we are so grateful ☺
I did it with a lace made by my own with wheel cutter. I worked on a project of a simple bag with thin leather it looks bulky but if you look at it accurately you can see the pattern of the lace. Thanks!
Hello, I am thrilled about this video! I have a Mexican hand-tooled purse that I want to restore. Will you please tell me what size lacing I should buy and how I should clean and treat the leather once I have removed all of the old lacing.
EXTREMELY INTERESTING !!! I think I have found a new hobby !!! Years ago I used to do leatherwork and forgot a lot of the techniques... You are VERY TALENTED !!! Thank you...
Great video!! Exactly what I needed to know!! Thank you! (And thank you for getting right to the tutorial! Some teachers, well meaning I’m sure, spend half the video explaining what they’re going to do, then do it! I Know what they ’re going to do, that’s why I clicked on the video!)
Thank you so much for posting this it has been easily 15 years since I have done any leather work and could not remember how to do this for the life of me.
this is a really clear and simple tutorial :) now i can go and make a quiver :D i think you also taught me how to sew leather by hand.. thanks for that too :)
Great video!! I learned several things and am reasonably confident that I can do this. Thank you. I have a question/comment though. You didn’t show two things; the removing a couple stitches and how you made the loop. IMHO these are important. I have no idea how to do them. Is there another video that shows them? I really want to do this on a project and need to know how.
Does including the 'x' part of the stitch (rather than just going around and through each hole) also serve a particular function, so that it would be chosen for certain projects and not for others? Or is it mostly used because it looks neater?
thank you for the demo, i dont understand why do you put a new lace, is it necessary or optional, i mean if the lace keeping on to the end, it could still meet the ending point (another end).
How do you make the holes ? They so straight and neat. Is there tools stitching punch hole round with diameter more than 1mm? Or do you made that holes used single punch hole ?
Thank you very much for the tutorial. Its easy to understand and goes to detail like how yo start, what to do when the leather strip finishes and how to start with a new one plus how many other important details like the corners and how to finish. I think the subject is easily explained and the information comes handy for leatherwork students like myself.

Beautiful! How can anyone not like this? To click the "Dont Like" is so disrespectful. You should be ashamed of yourself. This man did an excellent job detailing the "how to". Great video...
Netlace56 I guess because there are people who makes money from this kind of skill set. Or making money from teaching this. One way another this is an excellent video
Elby Man Sorry about the delay in reply! There has been so many people commenting on Mr. Hurst's video that we seem to have missed your request for information about triple loop lacing. George does a video on triple loop lacing as part of the premium content available at www.leathercraftlibrary.com
321hot2trot123 In the video, we used 1/8" lace, however this method will work for any size: 3/32", 1/8" or 5/32". The desired size depends upon the project. Billfolds and smaller items use 3/32" where as handbags and larger items use 1/8".

Beautiful work this bloke is a natural teacher 👍 only one thing im not understanding is how to make that loop , removing the stitches
Always nice to see a pro at work, thanks for the video!

What happens after you cut it at the end? Just leave it?
Subscribed, this will be a very helpful channel for me as a beginner.
As a member thank you tandy leather
Вообще огонь! Не тот способ, что я ищу, но очень шикарно тоже. Я восхищён особо соединением концов плетения.
Gracias a Tandy Leather he aprendido mucho de lo que sé! Gracias!!

Beautiful! And what a privilege to see some good craftmanship!
awesome ....number one teaching and stitching....shame on dislikers !!!
I had a clutch made at an Indian reservation. The workmanship is so beautiful. It's my prized possession. It still looks brand new 10.years later.
Nice and video... Leatherwork is very calming.

noticed the same thing, kinda odd to leave out an important step like that
It's great watching masters of their trade work!
Does including the 'x' part of the stitch (rather than just going around and through each hole) also serve a particular function, so that it would be chosen for certain projects and not for others? Or is it mostly used because it looks neater?
Fantastic piece of leather crafting from George here. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks. This was just what I needed. I couldn't find my book and couldn't remember exactly how to do it. Thanks a lot.
Impressive skills. Must have taken many trials to develop the techniques. Thanks!I
Brilliant, inspiring and educative. Worth learning.
Nice video and I learned a lot. Is there any trick when you run out of lace in the middle of the task?
thank you for the demo, i dont understand why do you put a new lace, is it necessary or optional, i mean if the lace keeping on to the end, it could still meet the ending point (another end).
In case you run out of lace before you get to the end.
oldmusicrocks123 Thank you for the reply and the video helps me much on my first leather lacing purse. thx.
Thankyou Mr Hurst for this excellent demonstration. I can't wait to try it.
Impressive skills. Must have taken many trials to develop the techniques. Thanks!
How do you make the holes ? They so straight and neat. Is there tools stitching punch hole round with diameter more than 1mm? Or do you made that holes used single punch hole ?

Is it possible to neatly tie off leather lacing if you are using a single piece of leather, rather than two pieces stitched together?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I so much loved your video. You explained everything very nicely. Thank you so much😊
Very good work. The holes are 2mm in diameter ??? Thank you...
hi,,,how did you make the loop in the last hole as you finished off ,,,,

Amazing job. Prety good finishing!
I didn't hear you mention the size of the holes needed with, did you say 1/8 in. Lace?
How did you get all of the holes so nicely spaced?
can i take some shots from the video for my assignment? it for educational use ? i can send you my schedule or anything to approve that i am student
Hey great video, just curious what size lacing is being used in this video?
321hot2trot123 In the video, we used 1/8" lace, however this method will work for any size: 3/32", 1/8" or 5/32". The desired size depends upon the project. Billfolds and smaller items use 3/32" where as handbags and larger items use 1/8".
