Cool:-)

Thanks Marlon soo nice of you and I''l wait cuz this is a real mysterium to me :crazy:

Tina...got an answer from Peter on Monday...(sorry for the delay in posting).

...many years ago, a regular writer for the old 'Craftsman' magazine mentioned many times, the term 'hidden stitch'. This so-called hidden stitch was nothing but 'glue'...it always amused me. So, with that said...I have to say that I too have used this 'hidden stitch'. All parts of this belts are 'glued' together. When a good contact adhesive is used and applied properly, it is extremely strong...think of the soles of shoes that are only 'glued' together....they do not come apart. Jack's belt will not be used (other than for a photo or two)...it is more of a keep-sake. When making full size belts in this style, of course I sew them in part. The attached belt has the sewing concealed...you will see only a fine line instead of exposed stitches. Peter

Thank You both:-)

Peter's belts is something I wish I could do, they are just so beautiful... "Art around the waist" :-)
