Members DeVillage Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 Best I have done so far stitched with .8 ritza tiger thread.What do you guys think? Quote
Members Halitech Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 overall looks good but how far in from the edge is the stitching? look like it's in quite a way. Also, it would make it look more finished if you burnished the edges Quote
Members DeVillage Posted May 7, 2015 Author Members Report Posted May 7, 2015 Their in about 4 mil and tried burnishing on another piece and it did not work with the oil tanned leather. Quote
Members Halitech Posted May 7, 2015 Members Report Posted May 7, 2015 I'd probably have gone with about 2mm (1/8") in from the edge. haven't worked with oil tanned so not sure what change you would need to do Quote
Members RStevenson Posted May 7, 2015 Members Report Posted May 7, 2015 Stitches look a bit too far from the edge for me also maybe round the corners a bit, looks good though Quote
Members TheCyberwolfe Posted May 9, 2015 Members Report Posted May 9, 2015 If you can't burnish, that's where the edge paint comes in. I'd make a recommendation, but I'm still trying to find one I like so I've been sticking with leathers that burnish well Quote
Members jayjay Posted May 13, 2015 Members Report Posted May 13, 2015 you can also roll the edges. I do this when I work with chrome tanned leather. Quote
