I am familiar with how to sew them- going thru the face and using a die to cover up the holes.

 

Hi Alexis, do you mind if I ask just how the 2nd side/edge of a long box loop is sewn up by hand ?
Small loops up to 1-1/4" wide,  I've sewn for years, angling the awl more as you near the middle of the inside of the loop, but as you say, 2" to 8" long ones are a different matter. Do you mean that you sew them plain, using the same hole on the top a few times, and only when finished, wet and press the pattern in them?

Thanks in advance!

Ian

Do you have access to the "Art of hand stitching " by AL Stolhman? He explains it better than I can. Basically,  sew the one side up as you normally would, the other side, tuck and tack. You make larger stitches than normal, working out of the same holes on the face of the loop( angling the awl).You would than emboss, hiding the holes.
