sunny275 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 Hey everyone, just got started on learning how to lace. I want to make a sheath using a triple loop stitch. I have practiced enough on some scrap and have learned how to dry spice as I go. I bought a lacing book from tandy's. It has shown me everything. My issue is that the book shows how to do a wallet or a checkbook. This requires you to go around the hole project and tie into your start point. On a sheath it just ends. Im just going up one side.......so when your at the end how do you secure the stitch...how does it get tied off? Please help as I dont want to come up with something that looks hideous! Im good like that!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring the needle out the side and trim it flush. It will stay put. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
