Rolled Edges?

[kytim]

Hello everybody, does anyone know of a post on here about how to do rolled edges? I'm referring to the edge like on an English chin of a leather halter, or the piece that goes across a set of blinders. I have even seen them on some purse straps. Also I do not have a mechanical creaser, so is it even possible?? Thanks in advance!!

Did you mean like this??

[kytim]

Actually no Trevor. I have attached a pic of a Halter with an English chin. The nose of this one is also rolled like I am referring to. Thanks for the reply Trevor.

I believe what you are looking for can be found in "The Art of Making

Leather Cases" volume 2. Hope this helps.

Sorry I should have given you more information. It is a book

written by Al Stolhman. They can be found on the tandy web site

or check Ebay.

Hey trevor, do you have pics of the back of your straps?

Hi Andrew. These are thigh straps for my customer about a year ago. The edge is seen on the two pics and the back on this one. Its quite easy to do. Have you tried this Andrew??

[Andrew Chee]

I've tried something similar to this. I think it's called a French edge. Same as what you have except you sew over the rolled edge instead of next to it. I've only done it when The back isn't shown though. Your backs are nicely done with the covering piece of leather. Very clean.

those are rounds, not rolled edges. When all else fails, !!GOOGLE!!

[kytim]

Thanks oltoot I tried that, but it didn't turn up much.

Well, Trevor, even if OP doesn't want to know how you make those edges -- rolled, rounded, or whatever you want to call them -- I do.

Thanks,
