jjodrey Report post Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Hello, I am assembling some handbags that will require me to sew leather - it is sheep nappa and is not as thick as upholstery weight leather - to handmade wool felt. I am using a Bernina 950 and have the necessary leather needles and a walking foot. My question is, should I use a welt seam to join these two materials? If so, should I trim away the felt or the leather? Should I then topstitch the leather side or on the felt side (keeping in mind that I would like this seam to be as strong as possible). Thank you in advance for your response to my questions, and also for any other advice you might be able offer. Regards, Jill Edited July 26, 2012 by jjodrey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
