28ist Report post Posted November 5, 2011 I'm working on a project that when done will have multiple layers sewn together. In the past I've finished the edges of each piece before sewing them together. Is this the best way to do this or should I finish the edges as a whole after they've been assembled? Sorry for what is probably an inane question but I'm looking for suggestions before I continue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted November 5, 2011 Treat the multiple layers as a single piece when doing the edge. Sand/cut the edge so that it's uniform, then begin slicking and burnishing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something like the welt on this holster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
