Thank you.

Anyone know where to get clear vinyl windows with thumb slots used for ID’s in wallets?

Is this one or three stamps. How much?

Found the answer on the CORTER YouTube channel. A French seam does the trick. Thanks for your input.

I’m making a handbag that needs a long gusset running side to side. Sadly, I don’t have a piece of leather long enough. I want to join two pieces at the center of the bottom of the bag. What kind of seam do I need for that purpose. The gusset will be joined to the front panel with a piped seam and to the back with a simple seam, which I’ll finish with with a binding that will continue all the way around the flap. Thanks for any suggestions.

The problem I’m having is that the needle gets hung up on the knot that forms in the thread and slides up to the eye. Having to use pliers on practically every stitch is a royal pain. I’ve tuned my pricking irons and stitching awl to a fair thee well—the latter will inflict painful puncture wounds if you’re not careful. How can I keep this from happening? Paradoxically, I’ve found that a bit larger needle, seems to be easier to get through the leather, because its eye is also larger and, like the fullback in football, makes the hole larger so the following knot (runner) can pass through more easily.
