Members decker leather Posted March 11, 2010 Members Report Posted March 11, 2010 I've heard the beads on the stingray hides is like glass. Any tips on sticthing stingray? And I don't have a sewing machine yet. (too broke) so I have to hand stitch till I can afford one. Hope someone can help! Carly Decker Quote cdecker
MADMAX22 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Make sure your awl is sharp. When you sew it youll end up basically going around the beads. They are pretty much impossible to go thru. Its not to bad though. Quote
Members joshk Posted March 12, 2010 Members Report Posted March 12, 2010 i recently did a holster that had stingray applied to it.... i was told by the guys at Tandy to use a Dremel to grind down the bumps so you could punch through them.... i wound up just using the 1/16" hand punch, the one that looks like a paper hole punch, and got the holes punched without any problems....
