Kevin King Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) Here are some step by step photos of the binding I do on my wallets. I will come back and edit with a narration when I can get a little more time. On this one, I just started at the point where i do the binding, so you can do this with whatever design you want. This is a 30" long strip of lambskin. I have recently started using garment cow as the lambskin wears out much faster sew on the binding to the outside edge, face to face. This is where I trim the corners to give it a nice rounded look when finished Seam tape on the inside to hold binding in place. Stretch binding around edge. Sew along edge as close as you can get without actually sewing into the binding leather. This is what it should look like when finished with sewing. Ready to trim excess leather. Sorry I dont have pics of that (I only have two hands. If you have more questions feel free to ask.

Russ Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) Kevin; I'm curious, is the seam tape that you use the same seam tape that is used on cloth? Do you have to heat it to bind? Russ If you have more questions feel free to ask.KK Edited February 4, 2008 by Russ Quote

Members tonyc1 Posted February 4, 2008 Members Report Posted February 4, 2008 If you have more questions feel free to ask.KK Kevin, I've tried using double sided tape on a couple of awkward jobs a couple of years ago and the adhesive built up on the machine's needle and caused too many missed stitches, so I gave up. What's the secret? Tony. Quote
Kevin King Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Posted February 5, 2008 I'm not sure what kind of tape you were using, but this is what I use and havn't had a problem yet.
