Thanks for this tutorial Kevin - I'm trying out some French binding myself.

I noticed that your 30 ins of lambskin is about, say 4 cm wide.

Then, after it's rolled over the edge and sewn, a lot of it gets trimmed away.

Does it need to be that wide to give you something to get hold of when you're rolling and stretching it over the edge?

Could a cost saving be made by initially cutting the lambskin less wide - or does that make it impractical to use?

Thanks and regards

The excess leather was trimmed off very close to the stitching.
