Members WScott Posted January 21, 2013 Members Report Posted January 21, 2013 I have read about this style of edging French edge or seam something like that. Basically a welt stitched between the front and back pieces You can put a cord in the middle of the fold over for shape and sturdiness Just trying to find the reference for you kind of what you are looking for??

Members MonsterMan Posted January 21, 2013 Author Members Report Posted January 21, 2013 That does look like basically the same thing. Thank you for the link! Now it's just a matter of giving it a try and see how it works out. Wonder if my old Singer machine can handle this? Quote

Members MonsterMan Posted January 21, 2013 Author Members Report Posted January 21, 2013 Thank you for the effort. Looks like it's an incomplete link though. Quote
Members JLD Posted January 21, 2013 Members Report Posted January 21, 2013 Hi Monsterman, Can I ask who made the red collar and cuffs, they look nice and I would be interested (not personally) in see more of their work. Johanne Quote Johanne "Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly"
Members billymac814 Posted January 21, 2013 Members Report Posted January 21, 2013 I don't think its piping because you can see in the one picture that the red lining goes up in it(if that makes sense). I think its done like keven king does the edges on some of his wallets. Look at some of the tutorials he has done. Quote www.mccabescustomleather.com
Contributing Member Ferg Posted January 21, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted January 21, 2013 I think all of you are making this to be a lot more difficult than it is. The dark colored piece has the edges skived so the roll is fairly thin. The red piece is skived very thin on the edges, glued, and rolled. You then glue the red piece to the dark after the dark has been rolled and glued. Stitching through everything with a contrasting thread makes the piece both attractive and strong. No edges to burnish. ferg Quote
Moderator immiketoo Posted January 21, 2013 Moderator Report Posted January 21, 2013 Bunny, a more consistent way to reduce the glare on your pics is to use a light box while shooting. This way, you wont have to frost your metal attachments prior to pics, nor will you have a problem with thawing Quote Learnleather.com
Contributing Member Ferg Posted January 22, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted January 22, 2013 A couple photos to show you how I do this. Keep in mind that this is just done with some scraps using my new Skiving Machine. May illustrate a little better than trying to explain. The edges are skived to as near half the thickness of the leather piece you are using so when you fold the edge back and glue it down the edge is the same thickness as original. This method can be used to roll the edges of purses, wallets, belts, dog collars, watch bands, etc. ferg Quote
Members JLD Posted January 22, 2013 Members Report Posted January 22, 2013 Hi, Kevin King has posted a video on how to make these edges the link is http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=44293 In the case of the cuffs etc the final sewing to secure the binding after the Stitch tape would include the lining fixing all three layers in one hit. Can I re-ask who made the red cuffs set please Johanne Quote Johanne "Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly"
