Members wlg190861 Posted June 14, 2014 Members Report Posted June 14, 2014 I was wondering if sewing one ply leather adds strength to the leather or is sewing mostly just for decretive reasons Quote
Members BDAZ Posted June 15, 2014 Members Report Posted June 15, 2014 It can minimize stretch but not strength since you are perforating the leather to a lesser or greater extent. Cya! Bob Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted June 22, 2014 Moderator Report Posted June 22, 2014 I often edge stitch bridle leather belts to reduce stretch. This works better on larger sizes that exert more pressure on the belt. I use #207/207 thread into 8-9 ounces, or #277 top/207 bottom on 10-12 ounce belts. Anything thicker, or double leather belts, I use 277 top and bottom. Quote
