Contributing Member fredk Posted July 11, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted July 11, 2019 Perma-lok; you thin the end of round lace then screw it into the end of the needle. It can be used for flat lace as well https://www.tandyleather.eu/en/product/perma-lok-needle But flat lace is best used with this type; the Lok-eye; https://www.tandyleather.eu/en/product/lok-eye-needle-hook-n-eye-10-pk or this version; https://www.tandyleather.eu/en/product/2-prong-lacing-needle-10-pk Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 11, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted July 11, 2019 I lace with these, even with flat lace (those wallets were done with this). Size 'regular' works with 3/32" or 1/8" lace. https://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/perma-lok-needle I HATE those "2-prong" needles. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members Mocivnik Posted July 11, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 11, 2019 I took 1 spool of this Craftsman Lace 1/8" x 25 yd. (3 mm x 22.9 m) while I took 3 types of needles: 1193-01 - Perma Lok Needle Lok-Eye Needle (Hook-n-Eye) 10/pk 2-Prong Lacing Needle 10/pk I hope this will be OK. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 11, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted July 11, 2019 I think you'll NOT like the flat needles. But honestly, it might be good to go on and try them, so even if you DON"T like 'em at least you'll KNOW for yourself. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

(Miami, Florida) PS2: I instead put this lace into cart - this is genuine leather, as previous from the link was faux. Took black and brown, can't wait to start working with them (I hope I choose the right leather lace for lacing tho ) https://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/craftsman-lace-1-8-x-25-yd-3-mm-x-22-9-m-black Edited July 11, 2019 by Mocivnik Quote
