Here is a quick example using cut up paper clips. My description above may not be very clear, but this photo gives a better idea of what I used. Quote
Members SUP Posted March 7, 2024 Author Members Report Posted March 7, 2024 @Northmount Thank you. That is so easy to make and use. They are blunt and strong, just what leatherworkers need. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.

Depending on what you are working with, you might want to run the ends over a file or stone to get rid of sharp edges left from cutting them. Quote

Oh, I will. I'm always getting cuts during stitching, and those are deep, so I'm very careful. That is why I started this thread as well - to pass on info I have about non-sharp stitch holders. In the process I got more ideas, which is nice. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.

CFM Frodo Posted March 10, 2024 CFM Report Posted March 10, 2024 If you use a sewing machine toss your used, broken, bent needles in a coffee cup. They make great stitch holders Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M
Members SUP Posted March 18, 2024 Author Members Report Posted March 18, 2024 @Frodo not yet. When I do use my sewing machine, I'll remember that. @Northmount Just discovered something on Amazon today to use with those paper clip pieces. These pin-backs work like the backs on those stitch holders which are the rage today - that I described at the start of this thread. They can be used on anything which fits, from name tags to brooches to badges. I have ordered them already. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.

Members SUP Posted March 18, 2024 Author Members Report Posted March 18, 2024 (edited) @Frodo I think so too. Versatile little things, if they work. @NatesLeatherGds I'll get back on whether they work... or not. Edited March 18, 2024 by SUP Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
