Finishing A Triple Loop On A Knife Sheath

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, just got started on learning how to lace. I want to make a sheath using a triple loop stitch. I have practiced enough on some scrap and have learned how to dry spice as I go. I bought a lacing book from tandy's. It has shown me everything. My issue is that the book shows how to do a wallet or a checkbook. This requires you to go around the hole project and tie into your start point. On a sheath it just ends. Im just going up one side.......so when your at the end how do you secure the stitch...how does it get tied off? Please help as I dont want to come up with something that looks hideous! Im good like that!!!!

When you get to the end go through the last hole twice (like for a corner) then take the final stitch by running the lace over the end and under the main lacing (along the welt) for about a half inch. Bring the needle out the side and trim it flush. It will stay put.
