Is There A Trick To Sewing A Band Or Strip With The Seam Hidden Inside?

[Fat Dog Leather]

Attempting to sew a strip of soft deerskin inside out so the seam is on the inside when reversed and not visible. The problem is when I attempt to do so the band will not pull through right side and I damage the material. Looking for any assistance.....thanks!

You will have to either make the band bigger or the leather thinner.

Lay a piece of carpenter's twine inside the band before you sew, . . . and be careful not to sew the twine.

Also, . . . make the band several inches longer than the finished product, . . . and taper the leather down on one end to almost a point.

Punch a hole in the tapered end, . . . tie the carpenter's twine to the hole, . . . and gently but firmly pull it back through.

Oh, . . . and good luck, . . . it's easier said than done, . . . but it can be done.

May God bless,
