jhw Report post Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) hello, i am new to leather making and been having a problem with saddle stitching seams on the inside and then trying to turn work right side out. sometimes the white shows thru on a few of the stitch holes and i am worried the leather will tear. is it because i am pulling the stitches too tight? or maybe pulling the leather too much when flipping it right side out? would appreciate any advice. i am working with a very thin piece of remnant leather ... it seems to be a nice piece of leather, sews wells and dye doesn't run etc. i dont know enough about types of leather yet to tell what kind of leather it is. i am using lin cable 623 and 4 teeth 9tpi blanchard pricking iron thanks much ps i used marker to make white less notieable but hopefully this photo shows issue..

Art Report post Posted September 2, 2015 You might have had a little tear out when you turned the bag. You might want to try gluing and stitching to give a little more strength. I can't tell the stitch length, but I would stay in the 6 to 7 spi range, and should not be so tight as to pucker. Art Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
