YinTx Report post Posted March 10, 2016 Just a quick video for those asking how I am stitching my leather. Just one of many techniques I have learned in the last year I have been doing leather work. I am using Coats Barbour 18/3 Ecru linen thread. This is a 3.38mm stitching iron making the marks, and using a 35mm Vergez Blanchard Awl. I get a very nice separated angled stitch with this technique. For straight stitches or angled stitches that the thread stays touching, I use different methods. Hopefully the link works.

YinTx Report post Posted March 12, 2016 Black Dogg, I'm fully aware of Mr. Armitage's excellent videos, and have enjoyed them thoroughly and learned from them immensely. Never had any intention to upstage any of his teachings, but there were some requests to see how I was doing my stitching; so I made a brief video to share. Nothing more, nothing less, thanks for watching it! YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmace99 Report post Posted March 12, 2016 I am sure more people than armitage has made hand stitching videos. I think the more the merrier. Keep at it Yin. I have not done one as yet and may do one in time. I have about 6 hand stitching videos showing it in a diffrent way. If someone was do do videos like mine I would see it as a good thing. Because some people might not get my method. . They may understand it easier with a diffrent person showing it . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YinTx Report post Posted March 15, 2016 Thanks for that, Gmace99. As you know, making a video and posting it takes some time and effort, so I appreciate when others are able to pick up some tid bit from it. I have learned many things from your videos that I have not picked up in the hundreds of other videos I've watched on the subject of leather work!

Black Dogg Report post Posted March 15, 2016 YinTx, I didn't mean to offend with my post above; if I did I apologize!! Just thought I'd put a link to Mr. Armitage's video there, so anybody looking for more info could find it. I, too, have learned a lot from watching all kinds of videos and yours is no exception. Thanks for putting the time in to make and share it!! Black Dogg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
