Members Killerwork Posted March 27, 2018 Members Report Posted March 27, 2018 What exactly is an edge creased used for? I understand it should put a nice crease line along an edge but is it fully cosmetic? Is the a feature bonus to using one? Does my crease become my a stitch line? Am I to finish my edge before or after the crease? I am fully clueless on this tool, just needing info to find out what tools to purchase as all I have is from a cheap stitching kit off Amazon. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted March 27, 2018 Report Posted March 27, 2018 Most use a wing divider for the stitch line. An edge creaser is purely cosmetic unless you are using it as a border line for stamping and tooling. Check out Amazon for this book. This will give you a cheap look into what you may actually have to buy based on the type of leather work you wish to pursue. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Northmount Posted March 27, 2018 Report Posted March 27, 2018 And yes you can use a light crease as a stitching line. You can apply a crease anytime it suits you in your work process. Best to make sure you have the final edge you wish to follow. It is a little easier to use the creaser before you use the edger as you have more depth on the side of the leather to help guide your creaser. Tom Quote
