Camerius Report post Posted June 1, 2014 Tried my hands again on a bi-fold wallet with four card slots. This time I gave it a different shot and made it out of 1.2mm (2½ ounce) veg tanned leather, which was not a good idea as the leather was/is too pliable. My stitching is still quite bad, and needs way more practice. Hate to still be stuck at level suck but hope that it will change in time. Ah well, upwards and onwards.

DavidL Report post Posted June 2, 2014 If you dont make mistakes you are not improving. I may have the same leather, top grade from SLC which is far too soft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hi Im Joe Report post Posted June 2, 2014 Soft leather is definitely a challenge to work with. But it isn't impossible! You just have to really pay attention and adjust your methods. You can't tension the thread nearly as much with soft temper leather. You have to really hit that butter zone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
