Beginner Working With Thicker Layers Of Leather And Inverse Pricking Iron
naz replied to naz's topic in Sewing Leather
well, sorry that you felt this way. I am sure your method is perfectly clear and clean for you and that's why you are going with it. and hope this makes you feel better. I had punched both sides before as to me it was a more clean' look then working with a diamond awl for the back stitches as I am still practising and my back straight stitches looked very messy but now more I practice I see that they are almost looking as perfect as the face side and it was 'odd' to use extra punching on the back when I can achive what I need w my awl and well I am enjoying the process of seeing how my stitches are getting better w time w only using awl, I also like the look of it more than punching both sides.- 32 replies

thanks kidinsky, i usually like to follow the traditional craft and trying to work the leathers it w an awl now, excited to try about the portmentau though.. 25b, I dont understand why the subject has to come to 'you' and 'us' as we are talking about different approaches here under different methods, I believe expressing an opinion about any technique should not be a cause to trouble- 32 replies

thanks Kevinp, can you see my last photos on page 1 and see if the blue hermes bag has the inverse pricking iron on the front stitch, can a regular awl still be used w the inverse pricking iron or does the awl also have to be inversed?(in other terms is there anything like inverse awl?)- 32 replies

hi DavidL, thank you much for your post, very helpful! I have size 10 and it looks a little short than bigger hermes bag stitches, Can you explain please also why Hermes uses portmanteau instead of regular irons for the front side? Is it only the direction of the angled stitches that change in that case?- 32 replies

thank you TwinOaks, chiefjason!! -
hi, beginner here and I recently started saddle stitching w vergez blanchard tools and I use cheaper remnant leathers to practice and they never come in thin quality sizes, although I use a skiving knife to thin the thick edges, usually I deal w leather where my pricking tool wont help to leave/ marks on the back side, is using REVERSE / INVERSE PRICKING IRON which i recently found on vergez tools website, is it for this purpose? /also do you know which pricking size hermes uses usually? no. 10 or 9 please? / thank you!
