Quick Tip For Punching Straight Handstitch Holes In Garment Leather


Recommended Posts

To get straight stitching holes in garment leathers, apply masking tape or painters tape to the edge of the leather <FLESH SIDE ONLY!>. Scribe a stitching line where you would like your stitch to go. Using a lacing/thonging chisel, punch the holes along the line. Remove the tape, and you are ready to stitch.

Ignore the crooked magnet snap, I fixed it later :spoton:

I also use masking tape and a scribed line when I am hand cutting long strips of garment leather for flogger falls or straps.

I hope this is useful to someone.
