Moderator bruce johnson Posted November 25, 2007 Moderator Report Posted November 25, 2007 Kevin, I just sew it with my normal setup on my machines and sews like about anything else. I was warned that the beads will deflect the needles, but haven't had that happen. I am not sewing across the areas with the big beads or the white spots though. I have not had the need to hand sew it yet.

Ambassador The Major Posted November 26, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted November 26, 2007 As Bruce said the beads will deflect the needle. You can run a stitching channel with a carbide burr to prevent the deflection. Quote Shawn Zoladz (The Major) dba Major Productions Everything Leather Saddles and Shoes Excluded You can lead me.

Members Mark Garrity Posted December 4, 2007 Members Report Posted December 4, 2007 Another method, if you are adhering it to a foundation leather such as making a belt and you want to keep the stitches straight on the leather side, is to sticth from the bottom or leather side.
