Members random5000uk Posted February 13, 2014 Members Report Posted February 13, 2014 Hello everybody, just started out with leather working and have a project lined up, a backpack for larping. I put up a post a few days ago about stitching, and I'm now wondering if braiding with a leather thong would do a better/equal job? Quote
Members CountryStyle Posted February 16, 2014 Members Report Posted February 16, 2014 IMO braiding when done right does an equal or less than job than hand stitching. A backpack? I would definitely suggest stitching. IMO braiding can look great when done right, but is outdated. A good saddle stitch is tough as nails, and looks nice as well. Good luck! Quote
electrathon Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 From someone who likes to lace, most people I find like sewing a lot better. Lacing tends to give a 1960's I made it in my basement look if you are not very carefull. Quote
