How much lace is needed to do a double loop around a small solo Bobber motorcycle seat?

Since i don't do a whole lot of lacing anymore, the number might be off.....but you can get pretty close to the length by measuring the total linear distance and multiplying by 7.

a good rule of thumb.....7 times the distance around....

I agree with the method of finding the required length, but if I were doing it I'd use lengths of lace no more then 11/2 yards to save the lace from getting raggy & worn, then dry splice as needed. Good luck with your project.

you bury the end between the pieces you're lacing and overlap the start/stop of the two.
