jrny4wrd Report post Posted May 29, 2013 I am sewing a motorcycle seat by hand and using upholstery leather. I am not used to stitching this soft leather. Anyhow, I am putting an argyle dimond stitch on the top and the stitching does not look straight. Is there anysuggestions? I used a saddle stitch even though I am not using it to hold 2 pieces of leather together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carsonauto Report post Posted June 1, 2013 I ran into this problem today, sewing upholstery leather to 5-6oz chrome tanned leather that was really soft. I was able to a get a passable stitch using the technique Nigel Armitage talks about (look him up on youtube), for tieing a small overhand knot on one side of the project, which will "force" the thread to lay in a cross pattern. It worked for me, cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
