Members bigsig11010 Posted April 23, 2021 Members Report Posted April 23, 2021 I’ve noticed that on some projects the seams and stitches are on the outside like box stitched while others are stitched then the work is turned inside out so that the seam and stitches are hidden. Are there rules for when to use which or is it just what the maker likes or wants on a project? thank you chris Quote
Members Tugadude Posted April 23, 2021 Members Report Posted April 23, 2021 I think it is really a matter of style. Do you want to feature the stitching or not? Turned bags are quicker for me to stitch because I sometimes use fewer stitches per inch as compared to bags on which the stitching is visible. Quote
Members mike02130 Posted April 24, 2021 Members Report Posted April 24, 2021 A "turned" bag is usually made out of softer leather and is one piece sewn inside out. Many totes and dop kits are sewn inside out. A bag with separate gussets are usually stiffer and are sewn from the outside. Quote
