Top 5 mistakes . Now I know where I went wrong😎🤙🏽 thank you very much
You are welcome!
The explanation is so excellent that I even subscribed to the channel, thank you for your teachings, which line do you usually use?
Thank you and welcome to the channel! For thread, I like to use linen thread brand Fil Au Chinois.
Great 👍 video! Thanks for the tips! Do you have a video for basic tools for leather craft?
Thanks! Not just yet but I do already have videos on leather knives and stitching chisel varieties.
Hi! Thank You for this tutorial. Yours informations are very helpful. Can You tell us what kind of thread do You use? Maybe You will make a video with comparing different threads, different producers? Good luck!
Thank you for the suggestion! In this video I used 0.5mm Japanese bonded polyester thread from Crimson Hides. I am already planning a video on thread selection and I will see what I can do on different thread brands later on.
Great info! But being new, I have punturer the thread and didn't know until pulling the threads. Now what to do! This part of correction step is missing, for us idiots who are new.
It is possible to thread the needle back through the punctured area but this can still leave the thread looking damaged. The best way is to incorporate into your stitching sequence, to pull the first thread in the same direction and same time you are passing the second needle through the hole. In this way it is not possible to puncture the thread.
Nice video thanks! What is the spacing of the irons that you used in the video?
Thank You! I mostly used 3.85mm pricking irons except for the shallow chiseling section where I used Crimson Irons 4mm.
Is there a good technique for getting an even stitch line on the back of your project? Thanks so much
You are welcome! It is important to make straight clean holes and follow up with good stitching technique that lays the stitches on the backside of the leather properly. I have made a video on this topic that should help ruclips.net/video/NiM0WiYXyVE/видео.html
Is there a proper way to saddle stitch evenly on both sides without a pony?
Yes there are ways to saddle stitch without a pony which there a few videos from other creators available on RUclips.
Hmm... I'm not sure about the third one. Philip from Leathercraft Masterclass has a video on this and he approves the side by side backstitch. And then I remember some old guys even scratch the leather a bit deeper on veg tan to hide the double-layered stitch :-?.
I guess it comes down to personal preference. Layering the stitches can only be done well with polyester threads as they can be flattened out. When working with linen thread they cannot really be flattened so you need to lay them side by side, you will see me do this in videos when I work with Lin Cable.
Corter leather mentioned that you want them to lay side by side so they don't protrude out. If one thread is on top of the other and sticks out, over time and contact it may wear out and tear.
I was wondering how you plan your stitch so that both ends of the stitching row are the same distance from the edge of the piece of the leather. So, for example, if you sew around the edge of a wallet, how to you get the starting point and the end point to be the same distance from the of the leather? PS, really loving your videos. Very useful.
Thank you!
One way is to make plan all your holes by making small impressions on your stitching line until everything fits well, then punch all the holes. The other way which I use is to design the project with CAD so that all stitching hole spacing in the pattern are 4mm, the same as the chisels that I use. I used the design method for my bifold wallet to be able to get full border stitching: ruclips.net/video/_45MHiOiX3o/видео.html
@@TeranAtelier Thanks :)
Would definitely recommend anyone who handstiched to watch this clip. 💪💪💪
Great! Are you a fan of Crimson Hides?
How to avoid the punch for stitching lines to be stuck in thick leather. For example, i find quite difficult to get out the punch tool when I'm punching through a couple of glued 3mm thick leather when I'm doing knives sheaths. For a single leather layer it's not a problem, but for 2 or 3 layers I'll end to damage the edges when I'm trying to pull the punch off the leather.
There are a few ways to make it easier; you can polish up the prongs so they are shiny and smooth (most of the expensive irons are factory polished), you can also lubricate the prongs with wax and finally you can buy or make a pricking iron pull out aid which is simply a piece of wood with a long slot in it.
