Staples work too.  Remove just before you reach them so they don't deflect the sewing machine needle.  Depending on what I'm working with, I prefer to glue with contact cement, next option, leather tape or double sided tape, next staples, next poke a single hole every so often and tie together with thread.  Don't like the time it takes to tie though.  On pre-punched kits, I would tie them together to align all the parts, then of course hand stitch or lace after.

Staples work really well when sewing anything on top on hair-on-hide leather!
