  • I do a lot of leather working projects on my channel and I often get asked how I do the leather stitching, so I thought I would make a how-to video on how I do three of the most common stitches and when and why I use them and what they’re best suited for.

    • @EthanCarterDesigns
      @EthanCarterDesigns  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@seinarukishi9228 It can really depend on the leather, pricking irons, and what you're hammering on top of - for example, thick leather just on a regular table with entry level pricking irons, it can take a lot and be loud. Whereas if you punching through thinner leather on top of a piece of granite with higher end pricking irons , it takes a lot less force and is quieter. Those are two extremes, but hopefully that helps.

    • @EthanCarterDesigns

      Thank you so much! The general rule as far as I know is the thread should be 4 times as long as whatever you're stitching, but I like to go a little longer just in case because it can be different depending on the thickness of what you're stitching too.

    QUESTION: I've an old leather briefcase I'd like to restore. It has dry rotted machine double stitching; stiff, dried out leather, and it needs to be dyed.
    I realize that I can't stitch the leather as it is dried out and stiff, until I "condition" it to make it more supple, however I don't know whether to dye it before conditioning or after conditioning - what does the expert suggest?
    Many thanks!

    • @EthanCarterDesigns
      @EthanCarterDesigns  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I don't have an official trick, but what I usually try to do is get it close but a little bigger and then sneak up on it until the two edges of the leather just barely touch, that way when you do the corset or baseball stich it pulls the two edges together if that makes sense.

      I actually have never used a round dent punch, but I definitely think it would look fine with the corset stitch. The angle of the diamond punches makes more of a difference with the saddle stitch because it gives it that slanted look from my understanding. Hope that helps!

    Nice!
    One thing…
    I believe they use the baseball stitch on a baseball specifically because of it's ability to withstand THOUSANDS of lbs. of pressure. 6 to 8,000lbs.
    It's stitching is designed to withstand a 90+mph ball changing direction in an instant to 110+mph ball going the opposite direction. It actually flattens to half it's original diameter.
    I think the fact that when you tighten the lace… you do so by moving into a more secure direction… as if to pull it tighter… unlike the other methods of fastening?
    In other words… the corset method wouldn't hold on a baseball.
    Anyway… it's just a thought.

      Most people say 3.5 -4 times the length of the seam length. I tend to go 4.5x just to be safe...thread is not SUPER expensive, and there's nothing worse than coming up short right before you get to the end...but that's a personal preference.

    thank you for such a useful tutorial
    my 1st ever leather stitching job will be digital piano cover, because I need to use 2 shorter pieces, to over the whole piano.
    which stitch would you recommend for that?
    I feel like adding a narrow strip of leather underneath 2 main pieces, like a seam, to make it truly dust proof. I feel that without that narrow strip, the dust would still be penetrating the stitched gap.
    but of course I'm writing this as a total newbie, so I am open to a better solution, or suggestion. cheers!

    • @EthanCarterDesigns

      I think that makes a lot of sense to add a strip of leather or other material to connect the seam. I would probably do two rows of the saddle stitch, one one each side of the seam down the strip if that makes sense.

      I have actually never used my branding iron on leather, so I'm probably not going to be able to provide much advice other than just try different levels of heat which I'm sure you've already tried. You could also just use the stamp to deboss it...won't have the same color contrast, but could be a good option.

      There's a link in the description for the thread I use - I tend to use thinner thread than most people though. Yes, that's what I do to measure because it differs depending on thickness of leather, so I just creep up on the length...basically you want the two edges to just barely be touching.

    Is your saddle stitch actually a " lockstitch" ? Or what's the difference if you don't loop the thread over the needle? Saddle vs. Lockstitch?

    • @EthanCarterDesigns
      @EthanCarterDesigns  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Here's what I could find on the difference: "The handsewn saddle stitch creates leather goods that last much longer. In addition to using thicker thread with hand stitching, each stitch is made up of two strong, independent, stitches. Unlike the lock stitch which will completely unravel, if a thread does break, the saddle stitch will still hold together."

      @EthanCarterDesigns  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much. That's a great question - I kind of eyeball it to be honest and tend to lean on the longer side. It may waste some thread, but it's better than getting close to the end and not having enough. I haven't actually validated that this rule of thumb works, but I've read that you need 3.5 to 4.5 times the length of the stitch line you're trying to stitch.

    • @rahilhabib
      @rahilhabib 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've been doing leather work for about a year now and I've found the length required will depend on the thickness of the leather its going through. Obviously you need 2 lengths as a base (cos you have 2 needles on the same thread).
      If the total thickness is the same length as that between each stitch hole then 4x length (plus a bit extra, maybe 10-20cm) should enough but if its thicker then more length, of course.
      As much as I don't like wasting thread, I'd rather over cut it than to under cut it and be left short!

  • @richardanderson4916

    You said I could ask you anything, so here goes: I'm confused about Bevelers. I see guys on TH-cam using bevelers that have a steep angle. This makes perfect sense to me as I watch them widen and manipulate knife lines. When the guys at the leather store sold me a beveler it was perfectly flat when held upright. Is this just something I need to learn, i.e., holding the beveler at a severe angle in order to achieve what I see people doing with bevelers of a different geometry? Did they just give me the wrong tool? I searched the Tandy site and the one they gave me at the store matches what is called a beveler on the site. This is just strange.

    • @EthanCarterDesigns
      @EthanCarterDesigns  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I wonder if you're thinking of skivers vs. bevelers. Edge bevelers are used to remove a small amount of material around the edges of something like a wallet so that when you edge burnish the edges you get more or a round edge and don't get a little "lip". I have the Tandy edge beveler and use it at probably around a 30 degree angle when beveling the edges. Skiving knives on the other hand are used to thin out sections of the leather to make it easier to bend or wrap around something generally. There are LOTS of different types of those which can definitely get confusing. Not sure I answered your question, and if I didn't let me know and I'll try again. Here's a video that explains edge bevelers too in case it helps th-cam.com/video/KOme0XyRFXI/w-d-xo.html

      Most people go with the thread being 4 times the length of what you're stitching. I usually go a little longer than that because there's nothing worse then running out of thread right before the end and also the thickness of material can also mean more or less thread is needed.

    • @EthanCarterDesigns

      There's no perfect formula because it also depends on how thick the leather is, how many layers you are stitching, etc... but I know people sometimes use 4 times the length of the piece you are stitching as an approximate length. I tend to air on the longer/more than I need though - there's nothing worse than getting close to the end and running out of thread. Yes, the corset and baseball stitch use essentially the same amount.

      The corset stitch should also work for 90 degree connections I would think...you'll just have to hold the two edges at 90 degrees for the first few stitches then it should hold it's shape for the rest I would think.

      If I'm understanding you correctly, I would probably recommend the corset stitch. Do it the same way I do it in this video, only with the two edges at 90 degrees. If you're trying to make like a pouch for your vape mod, you could also cut a long piece of leather wider than the vape mod fold it in half half way down and do the saddle stitch up each side.
