Members Kolton45 Posted November 18, 2019 Members Report Posted November 18, 2019 Hi so I wanted to try an buckstitch a wallet for the first time but I am just curious on how strong it is I typically saddle stitch everything but I have had a few people request buckstitching so I figured I'd give it a go just not sure if I need to saddle stitch it as well as buckstitch or if the glue is strong enough to hold it together on it's own and the buckstitch is just decorative Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted November 18, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted November 18, 2019 Glued and buckstitched with lace is plenty strong for normal use things Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 28, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted November 28, 2019 You don't "need" to sew, though I often do. I've seen some of the "old days" projects from years ago, glue held up surprisingly well - better than I thought it would have. Wallets don't get a lot of strain and stretch, so it's likely fine without sewing. Course, at some point you'll probably replace the lace ... 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.
