Sewing Al Stohlmans Tech Tips Book.

Recommended Posts

I have bought the above and the staples that hold the book together have rusted through. I want to sew. The spine together. As I have no experience of this sort of thing. How many stitches to the inch should

I use should I use and would linen tread be ok? Also I presume saddles stitch would be ok?

Thanks.

I would not do anything more than one stitch every 10mm, . . . saddle stitch should be fine, . . . if you want to preserve it for an extra long time, . . . take the thinnest leather you have, . . . use it in the inside seam and the outside crease.

Personally, . . . I'd use nylon, . . . but that is what I use all the time anyway.

May God bless,

Dwight

Cheers Dwight,

That is something you wouldn't,t get over here. A hunting,gun toting pastor. But then again you do things different over there.

Thanks for that, didn,t think about the leather. I have glued it to the outside spine and the inside crease. Will sew it tomorrow when glue sets.

Thanks again.

Ian.
