Members cmantz Posted February 19, 2013 Members Report Posted February 19, 2013 Is it possible to sew stringray that is an overlay vs. an inlay? I am working on a halter for my daughter and was just planning on doing an overlay but now I am concerned about the stitching line staying nice and straight due to those little beads. I am wondering if I should just go ahead and put another layer on top and turn it into an inlay.

Members TN leather Posted February 19, 2013 Members Report Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) CMantz I have used sting ray a little the past few years and in my experience it has been best to hide the edge of the sting ray. If you try to sew it without covering the edge/ stich line, it is easy to get uneven stiches or a far more bothersome issue is those little beads come off leaving unsightly white spots. I covered them with dye once and it is noticeable up close. Most of mine I have done as in post #7. But I like the combine #9 idea….. Warning though after some use the pretty color comes off (unevenly) and you are left with a off white bone color. ( this according to the wallet in my pocket at the moment.)
