Hi Guys,
Recently I spoke to some leather crafters that I know.
I asked about the topic of using the needle awl technique and how to get both side of the stitching straight, neat and nice. I was told that the way to do that is to punch your prongs all the way through the leather.
I've been practicing marking one side of the leather, gluing 2 pcs of leather together and applying the needle awl saddle stitching technique for 6-8 months. I still can't get one side of the stitching straight.
I want to achieve to the level of a hermes craftsman stitching. I understand that it takes a lot of practice but I wish to find out if I'm practicing the right way.
Great insights on the needle awl saddle stitch technique! As someone who's been honing my leathercraft skills, I understand the importance of precision and consistency in stitching. It's fascinating to see how professionals achieve that level of craftsmanship.
On a related note, for those of us who are passionate about leatherwork and might be considering relocating, it's crucial to ensure that our tools and materials are safely transported. Professional packers and movers can assist in securely packaging your equipment, reducing the risk of damage. Moreover, if you're moving out of state, selecting experienced movers who specialize in handling delicate items ensures a smooth transition. Always prioritize the safety of your tools to continue honing your craft without interruption.
Looking forward to more discussions and learning from this community!
