Members Raksha Posted June 15, 2018 Members Report Posted June 15, 2018 Ok, I am rather proud of the stitching here, its my second ever project involving stitching, and the first one was a dog collar and, well - lets not talk about that one. So here goes! I know its not perfect, but still. Quote
RockyAussie Posted June 16, 2018 Report Posted June 16, 2018 Neat idea. The stitching looks good time to work on the edging Quote Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram
Members Raksha Posted June 16, 2018 Author Members Report Posted June 16, 2018 Thanks! And yes.. those darn edges..! Quote
Rockoboy Posted June 16, 2018 Report Posted June 16, 2018 I like it. It looks great. Your stitching is pretty even and consistent.

I found the one stikcy from Bob Park, but that is a bit over my head at the moment. Quote
Rockoboy Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 If I want a simple edge finish, I use a little water and a burnishing stick, roller, bone folder etc. If the edge is a little bit more difficult to burnish, I use some beeswax, pure gum turpentine and lanolin mix and a piece of canvas to burnish the edge. I have tried a small amount of water then glycerine soap on a edge, that came up really nice, but I am still working on that option to see how it performs with edge paint, dye, antique or a sharpie.
