Members Leprechaunleather Posted March 19, 2014 Members Report Posted March 19, 2014 Just wondering do you guys so a stitch groove on front and back of a wallet before punching the stitch holes ? or just do one side and do the other side after all holes are punched Quote
Members JoeSnuffie Posted March 19, 2014 Members Report Posted March 19, 2014 I don't do a groove. I'm using thinner and softer leather combined wit braided thread that lays flat anyway. I'm using 1mm and thinner for the shell. If i was using thicker and stiffer leather I suppose I would. I do crease a line where I stitch and use a stitching chisel, though. I do the holes for the front and back of the stitch separately, making the angle of the hole opposite so that the saddle stitch looks great from both sides. Quote
