hidepounder Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 Thanks for resurrecting this old thread Johanna! Lots of information from a couple of different perspectives. I don't think I agree with some of it but th epoint of vies certainly makes you think twice. Good stuff! Bobby Quote
Members Ruark Posted June 16, 2014 Members Report Posted June 16, 2014 I always used a double thickness of leather on the flank straps coming down from a saddle's back D ring. After gluing them together and letting it dry, I gouged a little groove around the edge for the stitching. Being down in that groove helped protect the thread from abrasion and wear. Quote
Members LonesomeLeather Posted July 26, 2015 Members Report Posted July 26, 2015 Along these lines, would anyone mind Sharing preferred methods of attaching straps? I'm no expert, and I usually just do what looks good for my bags or shoulder holsters, but do you like to use rivets? Rivets and stitching? How about different applications like wrapping around hardware, attaching directly to the side of the article, or attaching at the edge of the article? Quote Damon Toivonen Lonesome Leather

Trox Posted May 20, 2023 Report Posted May 20, 2023 Interesting old thread about gouging a stitch line in straps that has to endure heavy strain. I do have have special pressers on my sewing machines that's sets the stitch deep. On my 441 I have foot that has a profile that makes a channel for the stitches. On my Busm/Pearson N⁰6 I have pricking feet's that does the same job, Only wish I had more sizes of them thought. If someone has any for sale please let me know.
