Thank you Arthur to teach us all the process and the tips. It's wonderful when you see a video and then you start to make that and you find many problems to resolve that the video doesn't talk about. Not so wonderful 😀. Thanks again.
There are two common stabilizers that work well with leather…Decovil Light and Decovil Heavy. I use the Light on thin lamb leather. I use Heavy for the bottom of a bag. Both of these products have heat activated application. They can also be glued or sewn in. I use my heat press at 300 degrees for 10 seconds. So far I haven’t burned any leather and the Decovil has been sticking through the end of construction. Joanna has been having very good sales on the product and I just worked my way through two bolts.
Excellent video...I sorta stumbled into this looking for ways to stiffen a bag I'm making that looks very similar to yours...my previous bags were much stiffer thicker leather..but I started sewing my gusset on n realized my bag now is gonna flop...I happened to havethis same material you used happy to know and grateful to know I can use it and that it is indeed intended for this use
Thank you so much for such wonderful videos! Can you tell me how you seamed the your two pieces of the gusset? Are you using a type of seam tape? thanks again for all you do!
im wondering what i can use to substitute for bag stiffener for now its pretty expensive. there has to be something that does the same job. is it like sandpaper? what exactly is it?
