jrprottas Report post Posted February 8, 2020 I have a 180 degree rounded backpack flap in 6 oz Dublin and would like to add detail, and weight, to the rounded edge by adding a folded edge. Ive found videos showing rounded corners on 2oz bible covers but nothing closer to my issue. My main question is whether I'll need to cut pie-shaped slits on the backside to accomplish this, or can I simply make tiny creases with a bone folder on the backside? What are the variables? Thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tugadude Report post Posted February 8, 2020 I doubt you'll need to make any slits. Are you meaning you want a thin strip to wrap in a "U" shape around the edge? So long as the leather is thin and pliable it should not be an issue, IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyAussie Report post Posted February 8, 2020 Thick or thin I have never had to do and v shape slits or cutting at all except when going into a tight right angle corner. This pic of the bag below is done with what I call the french edge method which starts off with the edge of the leather edge strip being sewn level with the product edge about about 3mm (1/8") in and then glued around covering all of the strip and then folded over the product edge. This then gets restitched with the needle tight up to the rolled edge of the strip. This motorcycle tool bag in the following pic has the edge of the lid section done that way and may be a clearer picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
