The Triple would cover the edge more than the Double Loop.... But if you really want to do a Fablous stich Search for the "SPANISH ROUND BRAID" THIS IS THE BEST.

Ray, there are some times that you have to use different tools for the job at hand. it took me two years of searching to find the right foot press to set tubular rivetts. Mainly the price was a factor in getting this one. it would have been a very hard task to set the rivets with a maul and setting tool on these tool pouches.

Richard , that is a great looking bag .... must have been a lot of lacing time in it. PS... why would you have reversed the Lacing pattern on the flap ? just courious.

Luis a great book for you to have is the "Craft Tools Tech Tips".it is avaiable at Tandys. Hope this will help.
