- Just wanted to go over a couple things that I wish I would've known before learning how to sew leather. It's a much different process than sewing fabric and theres a lot to learn but this should be a good place to start!

Sorry, I didn't listen a word.
I was too busy to admire this amazing and perfect edge holy cow !
Kudos for showing possible mistakes. That's especially helpful. As far as holding your thread for the first couple of stitches... it's also a good idea in general to make sure the thread take-up lever is at its highest position before starting to stitch.
That tip about how to position the needle when you're getting ready to back stitch was a GODSEND! That was driving me nutso. Also really appreciate about the pressure foot leaving footprints, I'll mess with that and see if I can improve it. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I greatly appreciate you taking the time to make the video and leaving in the portion when the thread broke. This was a real teaching moment that was beneficial to myself and I’m sure many others. 👏👏👏
This is a good video , but I would like to mention that the best thread to sew thicker leather pieces is bonded to the core polyester ,because it does not stretch as much as nylon threads do and when you are sewing thick leather like vegetable tanned Leather (like you are sewing now)three is a tremendous friction between the thread and the leather piece and friction means heat and one of the reason your thread broke in the middle of the process because ,first you used nylon thread and it is very susceptible to heat and second , the size B92 thread you are using is a bit thin for such project ,there is a thread size that is only available at Advanced Leather Design Bond 1 thread that is +B92 (which does not exist in North American Thread size Chart)and it is slightly thicker than B92 and slightly thinner that B138 and it is specifically designed at Advanced Leather Design to see leather pieces like this,and always use Chiseled needles (it is also know as LR needles In the industry)it has chiseled like that is angled and it is designed for leather sewing and also you can use TIR needles which has an obelisk shape tip but these two needles give a different stitch appearances.There is also one more thing to mention is for sewing machines that have transport system ( where there are three parts in the sewing machine that push the leather piece forward ,1-the dog feed ,2-the walking foot,3-the needle and the needle bar )use a thicker thread for the top stitches and thinner for bobbin thread such as in this case +B92 for the top and regular B92 for the bobbin thread and also adjust the bobbin thread and top thread accordingly to get the best result.
This video was EXCELLENT! Exactly what I was looking for. I just purchased a cobra class 26, and while I am not new to sewing machines, I am new to leather machines. I have so many questions, and you answered quite a few. I will be looking for more of your videos. Thank you!
I had my machine for a little while before I figured out some of the tips you mentioned here. Learned a few more today. Great Stuff. Thanks
Super helpful. Learning how to adjust the presser foot tension was worth watching the whole thing. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
That's Right! Teaching opportunity. I've learned a lot watching your videos. Thanks!😄
haha glad to hear it. Thanks Archie!
Thanks for correcting and restarting for us new leather sewing people.
Such an awesome video with a lot of information and I'm glad the thread broke in the middle of the video actually that taught me how to handle such a situation too. Thank you for your time and knowledge.
Thank you for pointing out the timing for making a 90 degree turn. Took me forever to figure out that sweet spot.
dude this is one of the best vids on the subject out there. Thanks
Thank you so much! I've a big walking foot machine that likes to leave marks in my leather, so much I turned to hand stitching........I will release presser foot pressure and see If I can source a smooth presser foot as well. Love your videos. I've learnt plenty. Bless y'all.
this is what I was looking for! The tip to hold the thread tight at start is what I needed. I had a difficulty with the mess at the start and end of my stitch. I'm going to try this tip but I have faith that it really works! ta!
I can’t tell you how much you cleared up for me with this video! Thank you! And thank you for taking the time to create it and teach us!! Very grateful!
That was really good information. Especially about the pressure foot on my sewing machine I tried to push the pressure is high as I could to make the leather go through and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work very well now I'm going to go completely the other way and loosen up the pressure and hopefully I have better luck. Thank you for sharing
You are amazing and generous for sharing all these information
Thanks for the video, I'm still learning to use my new machine, and this really helps
Kudos to you. I really enjoy your informative vids. I'm learning a lot from your choice of topic. Thank you again.
Great video again. I’d be really interested in a video showing the different feet that you use on your sewing machines and the skiver too. Thanks again for taking the time to make these really valuable insights
That was very nice of you to take your time and give us some good tips thank you I really appreciate it God bless you brother
Thank you so much. Just got my Industrial Walking foot slowed down enough so i can now learn. This was a very instructional video.
Hi there! Great video to get started on. I sew on a regular machine but this gave me an incite on the workings of an industrial machine. Keep up the videos they help getting all who sew more professional and proficient. God bless and take care.
Thanks Michele!
Golden opportunity to make your video stand out with that accident! So glad you took advantage of that! Now I know what to do if that happens to me 😁
This was a good video to start with. I'm not sure what machine to get but this video helped me understand some fundamentals. I'm sorta glad your thread broke while stitching because this allowed you to show how to recover the piece without tossing it and starting over.
Thanks for a great, informative video. I liked seeing how you corrected for the thread break.
Thanks John!
thank you for the pointers!!! really enjoyed your video.
Great video! Recovering from the SNAFU was the best part! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Agreed. Working through the issue out loud was very helpful and informative.
I like that you even posted that issues do happen. Makes me feel ok. I am new to leather stitching and I have tones of issues. 😂 great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
A very encouraging informative tutorial ... thank you very much! X
This video is great! You’re so nice & helpful
Very good job, thank you for showing you this. God bless you.
Awesome video! I know nothing about sewing leather and this was very informative! Will Subscribe for sure!
Thanks so much! Very helpful!! Having trouble with thread breaking... Works great sewing duck, switch to suede and thread breaks right off... Trying different threads and feet!! Thanks again!
Amazing tips my friend; many thanks for share.
Thank you so much for all the great info! I know it’s time consuming to make videos - so thanks for doing this!! :0)
thank you bro....always love to learn from you some tips and technique of doing leather craft..greetings from Indonesia
Lots of good info. Thank you!
Thanks for the advice. You’re an excellent teacher
Thank you Will!
Very useful video for a beginner. Thank you so much...
Great talent and video You are very experienced May God continue to bless you and your channel.
Fantastic video, really gave me some.great tips for the future thank you 😁😁
Glad to hear it, Thanks for watching Brian:)
Thank you so much for sharing this precious tips with us! Really appreciated and extremely helpful :-)
Glad to hear that thank you!
Thank you so much! You work great 😊
always a pleasant and informative video...thanks
Thanks for the video, I sent you on an email a while back. Ive been making leather holsters and now you have me intrigued wanting to make leather wallets. .
of course! wallets are a little easier to keep consistent and you can make them in batches. Holsters are a little more difficult because you have to deal with all the different gun models. But it's all the same process:) Lately i've starting to make more gun holsters. Not for the business but just for personal use. It's fun stuff
Beautiful stuff, Thank you
Love how you showed the pivot move on the corner stitch!
Just got my machine and thanks for the tipssss
Good advice I can relate to them all!
Hey, awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
About the edge guide. You can just loosen the screw, flip black piece over to the left side. :)
I am going to have to get one of those edgers now. Thanks for the tips.
It's a good tool to have!
Great info thanks. The reason the thread broke is that Juki recommends that you thread thru that guide it hooked on. After the check spring it should go thru 2 guides to the take up arm then back thru the same 1st guide. This will help control the thread better. See thread routing in manual and it shows it going thru that guide twice.
Bout a year late but super helpful. I just got an industrial machine and having trouble getting the beginning stitches to look right. Pulling the thread helped.
Thanks for the info! I’m going to be brave and unbox my machine, I’ve had for 5-8 years
Thanks for these great tips 👍
Thank YOU for watching!
Thank you for that, great video
Very informative thank you!
Thanks for the tips and specially for the final music.
I've got better experience from ur tutorial....thnx a lot
Really great advice as usual.
Thanks Paul! I appreciate that:)
When you hold pieces of leather together before sewing, I think you use a rubber adhesive to stick them together. I just wondered whether you have ever tried ' double sided Prym 6 mm Wonder Tape'. We use it sometimes for holding leather together pre sewing. In certain situations this might be an advantage to you. Its sold on amazon.
Oh thanks for sharing , I get it now!
Thanks for the tips!
of course! Thanks for watching!
Great video mate. How about a video on how to correct mistakes or misfeed when sewing with machine, instead of redoing the whole stitch line. I haven’t found any practical informative video out there. Your videos are very clear and easy to understand.
This was super helpful - thanks for making it! One question: are you using a long hole punch to get the holes on your strap so perfect? They look really clean, and I'd like to do something similar on some leather lash tabs. Thanks again.
Hi, thanks for that, very informative. I was particularly interested to se the speed reducer in action. I am interested in getting a machine that is able to sew heavier materials like leather. Are these machines also capable of doing lighter materials well?
Thanks great tips. Sometimes I need to sew thick leather but I get stuck with the sewing machine foot can you please show us how to adjust the foot according to the leather thickness.. Thanks again great work!
Thanks so much for this video (and all of your videos) you've been a big inspiration over the last few months for me as I start my leather business.
The other day I took the plunge and bought a Juki LU-563 which is the old version of your machine I believe.
Keep up the great work and cheers from Sydney Australia!
Where are you located at if I may ask?
Mountain Fisher northern beaches mate!
@@aaronjameswelsh Oh I was wondering as my son is there for a year for his company, he's in Sydney though.
Thank you for this.
Thank you so much for the video
Thank you. Nice video with real practical advice. What model is this machine?
I'm so glad you left the thread popping in the video. Seeing this makes me feel less upset when stuff like this happens to me.
Great video Thanks!
Great info Parker. I’m with you on the lighter thread. Looks classy. Any specific reason you prefer bonded nylon vs bonded polyester thread?
I used a compass to mark the line. As it doesn‘t cut a line in the leather, we just tapped the thread gently down into the leather with a plastic-hammer and/or also by applying pressure on the thread with a folding bone.
hi there . Love your videos ! Whats your recommendation on an 'entry level' leather sewing machine. One that won't break the bank . :)
If you are suffering from presser-foot marking, it may help to put a layer of masking tape on the leather, mark that up and sew through it. The stiching then weakens the tape and allows you to tear it away either side of the stitching. Finally clean up any gum from the tape with a quick acetone wipe (a makeup remover pad, perhaps).
At an early point, he was using the edge groover backwards as a creaser. The other side is sharpened and actually removes a thin thread of leather, when used normally - I have seen a reference to a left-handed head, many moons ago - I think it failed because you can equally think of moving the leather against the tool as moving the tool along the leather - which allows the left-handed user to use the right-handed tool.
Great video
Hey thanks for the good tips and links etc Did you make the hat you are wearing ? I’m a big fan of hats etc. and ive been looking at a few i own and becoming interested in making one or learning how
really good to get all this info that you share on sewing machines. I'm in the process of looking and in Australia we don't have a real lot of choice and although I can buy the JUKI that you have now, it's over $4000 and I'm real worried about spending the money but every day I hand sew and it's becoming very hard with the arthritis I have, so going in next week to see a few machines sew and talk to the sales man
good luck finding a machine! You're life will change in a big way when you make the jump;)
Absolutely Cherylene, Parker has really given some great advice on buying sewing machines & using them. In my opinion 100% you must buy the Juki and fit it with a speed reducer. Obviously this depends on your financial situation but if you can stretch to it financially then the difference will be worth it.
Thank for explaining the ending knot procedure. The Sailrite videos don’t explain that. Thank you
Thanks for your tips. Just getting started using our Sailrite LSZ-1. Need to order the leather presser foot so it will not jack up the leather. Ray, Oklahoma
Another great video! I thought i saw another video of yours that said a walking foot is a must for sewing leather. It didn't look look like the foot was "walking" in this video. ??
I'm having trouble sewing the tip of an english point . I can't get the turn around to look neat using my Juki machine and have taken to stopping short on the straight away and saddle stitching the point. Any hints?? or could you do another great video on that technique? Thanks for all your helpful videos for those of us just getting started. Cheers!
Well done
what size and style needles do you use for your #92 thread? thanks for the tips!
Great video brother!
Thanks David!
Great video - what needles are you using here? - thanks!
Thank you very much.
Hand stitch my fav
Hey great video! Where did you purchase the "non-marring" presser foot from? Thanks.
hi! thanls for sharing the video and teaching us your skills. and i have a question . where did you get the molds foe cutting the wallets leather? i would love to buy them and how is the price ? i hope you can help me with this i formation . thanks.
Was working with a JUKI LU563 but the slow speed didn’t create the torque I needed, nabbed a Singer 29K70 from the ‘40’s it’s a freaking dream with the treadle
Nice video, I'm considering buying one of those someday. Just wondering, what's the minimum stiches lenght?
That's a really pretty piece of material. What is it and how thick? Thanks!
Hi, thanks for your video, I've a walking foot machine that likes to leave deep marks in my leather, if. If I put tensions screw up I have another problem - walking foot doesn't evenly spread the different thicknesses of the leather, for example in the folded coin pocket. Any idea how to avoid this problem? Thanks a lot!
Great video, what size needle were you using?
Thanks for the video.
When I sew the curve I have trouble with spacing between stitchi , they get wider then the straight area. Did that ever happen to you?
Thanks for your videos, greetings from mexico, what model is your juki sewing machine?
