    Don't use those cardboard concrete forms as the cardboard sucks moisture from the leather

    Halitech is right. glue is meant to hold until you finish by sewing or some type of lacing. Burnishing leather that has just been glued will heat up the glue an make it soft. As far as the strongest glue, it is made( by Mule hide ) and sold at your local ABC roofing supply store, it is called black splice adhesive. once you put the two pieces of leather together they will not come apart

    When you sew if using nylon thread all you need is to start with one back stitch and then forward to end an 1 back stitch then. It sounds like you are backstitching over loose thread. Hold your ends when you start.

    Tote Bags

    wlg190861 posted a topic in Sewing Leather

    I have just started making leather tote bags and am wondering two things. 1 What is the best size of thread to use ? I have been using 277. The bags are mostly 16"x16". 2 What is the best lining material for durable linings ? and where do you get it ? Dan

    When it comes to suede, (hem you edges)
  21. wlg190861
    No, suede dose not burnish. The best way to achieve a nice edge with suede is to hem the edges prior to sewing/gluing.
