Saddle stitching folded over edges

Recommended Posts

I hope this is the right place for this question.

Lets say I want to take 8-10 OZ. latigo or bridle leather and fold it over flesh side in and then sew the edges together. Can I skive the edges thinner and fold the edges in and sew it so I do not see the edge of the leather? I realize I will be sewing through 4 layers of leathers but is this feasible?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Jim!

The short answer is yes you can. I would highly recommend skiving the edges, but if you can get an awl through it, you can sew it.
