Mix and match!
Hey everyone. Just want to give an advance thank-you to anyone who takes the time to help me out with this. I've been doing leatherwork casually over the past year (I have a new baby so that's all the time I can afford). Tooling and dying are very fun and comfortable for me however I have been avoiding projects that involve stitching and hardware. I want to get over this hump so I have tooled up a few belt buckles and am ready to stitch them up with a metal hardware interior (see attached photo). This is my second attempt at stitching up belt buckles. The first one went quite horribly to be honest and I am hoping to avoid some of the pitfalls i experienced my first time around but haven't been able to find too many tips and tricks online. Here are some of the problems I encountered my first round sewing a leather belt buckle onto metal hardware: 1. Couldn't seem to get the holes aligned, and the layers would shift around when adjusting the buckle in my stitching pony which was quite frustrating 2. because the front leather piece has to stretch over the curved metal hardware, it seemed "smaller" than the back piece once stitched, and the edges of the front and back piece of leather would not align giving it a sloppy appearance. It looked like there was a small gap between the two layers of leather rather than a nice solid edge. The back layer also overlapped the front. I tried to remedy this by gluing them together, and carefully trimming and burnishing the edges while sewn on the metal backing. This was quite a challenge and didn't go so well and I lost the perfect oval shape of the belt buckle in the process! Yikes. I'm sure some of you have sewn hundreds of leather belt buckles with a nice refined edge. Is there some essential step i'm overlooking? Any hints to keep things aligned and make the edges look professional and neat? I have worked hard at tooling and dying these pieces and would be sad if I destroyed them in the final steps of finishing the belt buckle! Once again, I would appreciate any tips! Thanks.
