Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could help me and give me some insight.
As a small Swiss fashion company we have decided to produce leather belts and wallets. We are collaborating with Italian leather manufacturers. The first samples they sent us were great and exactly the way we designed and wanted them to be. Except for the seam. The thread hasn't got the same thickness on both sides of the leather product. To us that would be very important. especially for the wallet.
This is how we wanted the seam to look on the front and the back:
And this is how the sample came out.
As you see the thread on the back side is too thin.
After discussing this with our Manufacturers they unfortunately told us that they can't use the thread used on the front for the back aswell. They say their machines can't handle it and the thread always tears apart.
This is where I need your help. Is it normal for Leather Manufacturers to not be able to sew both sides with the same thread thickness? Are we demanding too much? I've seen many Leather products before witch same thickness threads on both sides.. Did we pick the wrong Manufacturers with very old sewing machines?
Maybe they just need to make bigger holes so that theres more space for the two desired thick threads?
I hope someone can help me with this issue.
Thanks already in advance for any help
Best Regards
Stefan
