Glue And Bridle Or Latigo Leather?

[JamesR]

Hello,

I am having a hard time keeping the parts of my projects aligned when stitching.

For instance when I stitch the billet that holds a Dee ring to a shoulder bag I just clamp it up in the stitching horse and stitch.

Sometimes the billet shifts slightly and it ends up out of alignment with the edge of the bag.

My question is can bridle or latigo be glued in place before stitching or will glue not work on these leathers. Both of these leathers have a waxy feel that would seem to prevent the glue from sticking.

If not glue, is there any other method of keeping things in place?

Thanks

Jim
