Binder clip fix

[Bigfoote]

Just a little trick for those using binder clips to hold seams together, don't know if anyone else does this? It keeps the binder clips from marking your leather. I use 4oz leather for this.

Clever! Thanks

I glued little chunks of leather in the news of mine, but like your idea better!    Very cool.

This is a good idea

On straight runs I put lolly [aka popsicle (?)] sticks between the jaws and the leather. This also helps to spread the loading further than the jaws themselves. On short runs or curves I just break the sticks to suit

I found anything hard like wood leaves marks on cased leather, then you have to fight to hold everything together to get it clamped right. I used to do it that way till I figured out a better way.

Nice idea. To date I cut a slice down a fish tank bubbler hose and slip them over but the do come loose sometimes. Thanks for sharing the tip.
