How Are Rolled Edges That Hide Stitches Done?

Recommended Posts

and what is the process called. I have seen briefcases that have rolled edges and the stitches are hidden in the rolled part. Anyone know how it is done?

Have a look at KK's tutorial in that thread, he uses a 'french rolled edge' I believe it's called, on the wallet. Is that what you're after?

Basically, you sew a strip of leather to the face side, stretch it back over the edge to the flesh side and stick it there, then sew back through the seam from the first stitch line. Hell, if I did it, it can't be that hard :) just take your time with the second stitchline

Thanks for referring me to that tutorial. It gave me some other ideas.
