Sewing (Tight) Corners

[Aulus]

I´m about reading how to sew around (tight) corners when the gusset is not a latigo, corme tanned, oil tanned or else. I´ve like to use veg tanned, no to thin leather. But this will not bend enough. Would you like to share your tips if you do such kind of gussets?

Wet form the gussets before sewing. See Stohlman's Custom Saddle Bags for detailed instructions

You sew it wet? And no glueing?

And..you´re using a "Boss" or I´m wrong?

I glue my gussets cased, let it dry then stitch.
