EthiopianBone Report post Posted December 19, 2014 I saw a ridiculous Ralph Lauren commercial on TV (not by design...it just came on, I swear) and it showed someone using really long needles to stitch a leather bag. The needles look like they're a good 7-8" in length, but didn't look like anything I have seen in real life. Does something like this actually exist (for thread, not lace) or was this just some TV tomfoolery to try to convince sheep to run to Macys and buy some crap?

silverbullet Report post Posted December 19, 2014 I don't think anyone uses needles that long on leather. Unless its a thick leather saddle then the needle is more like a spike with a slot to lay the rawhide strap in it. Sail makers and furniture makers use long thick ones to go thru material and foam . Of course who knows about those ritzi people could be yupp ,Silverbullet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
