That plexiglass demo is the best visual aid I’ve ever seen on TH-cam! I look back over my struggles to get a nice clean saddle stitch, and I’m certain I could have avoided all of that if I’d seen that a year ago! I’d be surprised if we don’t see that on many many other channels now soon. Thanks and well done
Thank you for mentioning that! I personally love when a process is made as crystal clear as possible (pun sort of intended!). I’m am so glad this way of teaching connects with you. Thanks so much for your support! -Tanner
I agree on the demo. I hope this continues to show neato stitches. The Italians for years have been using this stitch and as they say, it's much to do about nothing reallly. It's cool to see someone pick up on that as a decorative saddle stitch which can be quite cool.
@@ClaridgeLeather and not only that, but you could do that stitch on both sides, ending might get a little bulky, and i haven’t finished watching the video before commenting (big no-no).
I just changed my wallet design. I'll use this stitch with black thread (on black leather) and red thread for the accent. *_Your teaching technique is spot on. The best tutorials I've seen._*
This was a top tier video. I've watched plenty of great leather videos, but this was just a step above. The visual aid and the "that was fun, thanks for joining me" at the end really sold me. It gave me the warm fuzzies. Bravo! I guess there's nothing stopping us from doing the same thing in the back, with six needles and three things of thread. I know you said you did the same color for the customer but I could see tasteful pairings of two colors on customer pieces. As for finishing another option would be backstitching through the red like the red does the leather. Idk, I'll have to play around with it.
Well by learning this stitch I think i went from level 3 leather worker to level 10, one day I might make level 100.. Really neat stitch thanks for the tutorial.
I've got a 50.00 dollar starter kit coming from Hobby Lobby so I've decided to sub to you as my coach and confidant regarding my new hobby of leather working. I'm retired and wanted to keep my hands and my mind busy, thought this would be one of a couple two three hobby's I would pick up on and use for gift making. I think they mean more when you put your time, love and effort into them for a gift.
Wow, that is awesome to hear. I think this is the PERFECT hobby for making very unique and satisfying gifts (and things to keep)! Congratulations on taking the plunge! I am so grateful to have you “on board” here, and I really hope you feel well-served by my content. Keep in touch! -Tanner
Hey Tanner, thank you for sharing this technique. I've found that it can be easier and faster if you first saddle stitch as usual and then take a couple thin needles and do the norvegese after, by passing the second thread underneath the saddle stitch. As long as you take care not to scratch the leather it works pretty good!
Never seen that decorative stitch before.getting ready to start a hip bag tomorrow that should match her theme well. Thanks , should be called the chain ,looks just like one.lol
Thank you Tanner for sharing your tips with the leather community, beautiful stitching idea. Very well explained. Can't wait for the next video. Family guy's rule, great work.
I saw a very short video some years back calling this the spinning stitch. It was only a minute and change long, but was done on a shoe that looked pretty good. I'm glad YT put this up on my home page!!
That's pretty awesome. For those of us who do not speak Italian, "Norvegese" is just the Italian word for "Norwegian". I'll be using this stitch, but just call it "Norwegian" stitching.
I must say, I have watched many leather working video, some better then others for teaching technics but you are an amazing teacher of technics. I’m very appreciative! Love your work and designs. Thank you
Thanks, Nate! You’d have to check with my wife about that one… 😀I am so glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching! More on the way… 👍
thanks for this decorative saddle stitch. The famous Italian shoe makers and many euro shoe makers in general use the stitch. Even the Japanese and Korean and Chinese Shoemakers are using it. I may even use it on a pair of boots. Such fun!! The demo was awesome keep using the plexiglass to helpf folks. Old people like me are enjoying your channel.
So nice to hear from you, and really glad you’re enjoying the videos!! I have a Bulgarian friend who makes shoes and he certainly uses this technique- very cool! Cheers from Montana! Thanks for your kind words! -Tanner
Hi friend, thank you for teaching about this technical, very well explainned. I love your work site and your tools you shuld talk us about it. Regards since Colombia South America.
Thank you, Israel. I am so glad you are here enjoying the videos! Great idea about showing more of my workspace. I will definitely do that in an upcoming video!
That's so cool! So you're sort of saddle stitching through the top side of your saddle stitch! Except now you get to see it in profile instead of top-down...
A very cool stitch in the right situation! Your channel was namechecked in a Reddit post from somebody who learned this stitch from your channel, and I'm glad I followed the reference. You have a great teaching style.
Hey Cam! Welcome! So glad you’re here! I am not on Reddit (😬) but it’s awesome to hear that you found me through a post there! I appreciate your kind words. -Tanner
Like Bagram D the plexiglass is the coolest visual aid ever well I'm of to my workshop to try this out. Thank you for a brilliant new look on the saddle stitch.
If you really want to kick up your "drum solo" you should try weaving a "blue thread" through both sides. That way on a wallet youll have a fancy stitch on the front and back. When I try this I think I'll use a round hole stitching chisel since it's easier to sew through and the stitch covers up the holes anyway... Cool tip, thanks.
Cool! I’m so glad you’re here! Welcome! I’m always interested to know what type of content interests you most. Have fun with this stitch, and be in touch! -Tanner
Very valuable demo, Love that beautiful stitch, much more decorative, and makes a change with a more creative and decorative perspective. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
What would be interesting is to add another thread on the “backside” and essentially do a double chain. One on the front and one on the back. I think I might try a test piece whenever I’m feeling funky.
Just found this channel, this was the first video i have watched. I already have a project that this technique will work on. Thanks for making it crystal clear. Subscribed!!
That's interesting, I've not seen that before. It seems to be a saddle stitch on the saddle stitch thread! I'll try it on something but maybe with contrasting colour threads.
Could you loop through both sides for a double sided Norvegese stitch?, instead of ending up with the saddle stitch on one side and the Norvegese on the other, looks like you could.
This is awesome. I'm making myself a bag and I had trouble choosing between two thread types, but with this I can use both and have a really nice accent colour
You can also weave in the appearance of a three strand flat braid in a similar fashion, although I haven't done that in years. This chain stitch appearance I like a little more though. Thanks for sharing.
That's a great accent stitch. I tried it on a pencil holder and it looks sharp. I can't see doing anything too long, but patience ain't my strong suit anyway. Great video!

I agree the plexiglass demo is the best way i've ever seen to explain the stiching process. You can see where everything is going. Brilliant tutorial.
Noted that immediately. Good teaching tool.

So, it's a saddle stitch *through* a saddle stitch?
Cool!

fantastic tutorial. it feels very welcoming and real, if that makes sense. wonderful stitching, will definately be busting this out soon!
I am such a visual learner ! So, I really do appreciate how you took the time and effort to make the oversized plexiglass to demonstrate . TTHANK YOU!

Even the shots of you stitching the leather are clear and concise, but the plexiglass demo is a winner. Thank you.
That's cool man. I appreciate your giant bit of plastic to explain this stuff. way better than the channels that only show it on the leather.
Best video for the Norwegian stitching on the internet

Yes!! 🥁 I knew there would be somebody else out there!! 😀 Thank you!
@@ClaridgeLeather I was a lead singing drummer in a rock cover band for 20 years. I miss it, but I don’t miss carrying all of our gear! Haha.
😂 That is SO much work!! Very cool!
Thanks for sharing this Norvegese Stiches in step by step & clear explaination.
Btw, you have a really friendly expression 🤝

Thank you for sharing and I must admit I like the design of it!
Thank you Tanner for sharing your tips with the leather community, beautiful stitching idea. Very well explained. Can't wait for the next video. Family guy's rule, great work.
Really good, two color would be very nice touch
I had forgotten about this stitch. Thanks for the reminder.

That’s awesome to hear! I haven’t heard that name for it, but I have definitely seen it on shoe welts. Thank you for watching! -Tanner
You’re pretty mellow for drummer 🍻😎 Interesting stitch, can’t wait to try it
Ha ha... maybe that’s why I don’t feel the need to take too many solos. Thanks for watching!!
Waiting for my leather to come in. Just starting leather crafting. Thank you sir for these.
This is tremendous! I’ve been wanting to do a decorative stitch on leather but couldn’t figure it out. Beautiful work!
Awesome, Christine! I hope you enjoy giving it a try!!
I wanted to put a nice border on my journal and this is just the thing. Thanks for the video.
Great demo, great stitch, great pacing! Thank you for sharing!
The presentation and plexiglass visual aid simply the best!!
The plexiglass teaching tool is an awesome idea! 👍👍👍
Thank you, John!
I'm so glad I found this video, thank you!

That's pretty awesome. For those of us who do not speak Italian, "Norvegese" is just the Italian word for "Norwegian". I'll be using this stitch, but just call it "Norwegian" stitching.
That was interesting. I never thought of embellishing the saddle stitch, but it does look good.
Yeah, it’s pretty neat, huh? I’ve seen some very cool shoe welts with this stitch. Have fun!
Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing this technique with us. I genuinely appreciate it.💜☮️💫
That's really cool. Just add a little pop every now and then
Love this stitch! Can’t wait to try it out on some coasters I’m making.
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATIVE VIDEO!
Perfect project for that stitch

Nice stitch, thank you for sharing!

Very cool bud! I am definitely going to try this stitch this week on something!
Thanks, Ethan! I loved your pallet video on Instagram today!! You’re awesome.
@@ClaridgeLeather Thank you so much bud! I appreciate that a lot!
Now do it with six needles with the weave on both sides creating a double norvegese stich!
I have had some people send pictures of projects they’ve made doing that! Very cool! Cheers!

Thank you for sharing Sir! Definitely going to try it
Right on, Jaco! Have fun!!
Thanks that was cool. I'm just starting out. Been doing it about a year and every little tidbit helps.
You added that stitch to the "top" side, but what if you added that to both sides? Shouldn't be a problem with that, should it?
That will be my first stitch when I buy leather amazing
Tried, looks amazing, had a bit of a struggle with the ends:).
Thanks man!
I definitely didn’t nail it on my first one... have fun! Thanks for watching, and good job trying it!!
Awesome technique
Really nice looking stitch. New one on me!!! Thanks!
That's so cool! So you're sort of saddle stitching through the top side of your saddle stitch! Except now you get to see it in profile instead of top-down...
What a great way to describe it! Thank you for watching!
Thx 4 showing!
I wish you could do a video on how to apply different buttons and snaps
Got a tote I'm gonna get started this weekend going to try that stitching around the top
Sweet! That will be a labor of love, for sure!!

Looks like something to use on the brim of a hat for a little extra color.
That would be cool!!

This is just amazing and beautiful.
I'm a tester by trade so I'll be trying this on both sides, of course 🤣
Same
Looks cool thanks, hope I don't get confused at the last
Very valuable demo, Love that beautiful stitch, much more decorative, and makes a change with a more creative and decorative perspective. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
Thanks, Hugo! I appreciate that! I think it’s fun to learn simple things like this that can add a lot to our work!

Thats very cool, im going to try that. Thanks.
Awesome! Have fun! Thanks for watching, Daniel!

Thanks for new stiching method! Love it! You are amazing! Make more videos plz!
Nice one ! Definitely will try.
Thanks, Serge! Have fun!
Very helpful, thanks.
Excellent, thanks!
Awesomely presented! Bravo!
Clever way.Good job.
Very nıce job welldone

That´s art...Thanks for posting....
That's interesting, I've not seen that before. It seems to be a saddle stitch on the saddle stitch thread! I'll try it on something but maybe with contrasting colour threads.
That’s a good way to put it! Yes, multiple colors make it really fun! Enjoy!
Outstanding .. thank man
It is my pleasure! Thank you for watching! -Tanner

Yes, absolutely! I have had several people send me pictures of items they’ve made using this double-sided technique! Very cool!

OOH!! oh yea I’m definitely trying this
Hey Tanner brilliant idea it looks awsome cheers boet
That was great, thank you.
couldnt you do the blue stitch on both sides ?
to make it more decorative?
thank you deb
I’m wondering how that would work without a stitching groove on a knife sheath. It’s a good looking add to stitching.
Very nice demo with perspex --but WHAT does age RED thread do ? just looks pretty ? or is it necessary somehow ?
Very nice!
Thank you, Nathaniel! Have a great day!
Awesome thanks 👍
