- The look of your leather stitching starts with thread selection.
In this video I look at why thread selection is so important in leathercraft. I review the effect that different thread size and thickness will have on the look of your project and why thread colour and contrast are so important to make your hand stitching look its best.
Featured Tools and Materials:
- Pricking irons 3.85mm spacing
- Natural vegetable tanned leather 1.0mm
- Stitching sample piece: Badalassi Carlo Pueblo leather (Colour: Ortensia)
- Galaces waxed polyester threads: 0.35mm, 0.45mm, 0.55mm, 0.8mm and 1.0mm

Your videos really helped me as a beginner i still have a lot to learn on leather haha
@@motion9047 That is great to hear. Keep on improving!
I've been binging your videos and they're so clear and helpful! I've been trying to figure out how to make a particular project, but have little experience working with leather, and you've helped me understand some key points.
Great to hear! I suggest practicing on some smaller projects with cheaper materials when getting started.
Nice, simple, informative. I love it 🧡
Thank you!
Please keep these videos comming. Really great advice for a begginner like me. You allready helped do much. Ty
Much appreciated. Thank you for your support!
Thank you for doing this comparison and am learning alot. Love the tutorials and videos.
You are so welcome!
This video was the simplest and easiest to understand. It helped me out so much. I know now what size thread to buy for my small wallet projects! CHEERS!
Glad it was helpful!
This was very helpful!
Thank you!!
Very clear explanation.
Thanks!
Thank you, great information.
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful information thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. You've addressed my concern of whether thinner threads are weaker than thicker ones. 👍
Glad to help!
Very good suggestions,
Thank you Mark!
Hola me acabo de suscribir a tu canal me encantó tu forma de trabajar estoy empezando a trabajar las pieles y me. motivaste a seguir intentando y a no rendirme me da pena no saber ingles y entender mejor tus tutoriales. Gracias por enseñarnos .
Thanks
Thanx for video
Most welcome! I am glad you are liking the videos.
Another very useful video! The most confusing thing for me is thread sizes. If you look on TH-cam, it's almost impossible to find a good video on the different thread sizes with examples of each. You touched on some of it here but it seems that there is a lot more to learn about the different sizes of threads, the types of materials they are made of, the thread sizes that are commonly used for different products (watches, wallets, hand bags etc.) and which needle to use with which thread.
Thanks! I think what you are looking for is a combination of stitching hole spacing and thread thickness. These two go hand in hand when looking at project selection. I have an upcoming video on thread brands so I will be able to touch more on the different materials.
Another great video. Not sure how many different stitching irons you have but it's worth mentioning the difference in stitch appearance created by various irons and the differing holes they create.
Be good to know a bit more about your background as your audience, I'm sure, are intrigued.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for the suggestions. I already have a video comparing the look of stitching from various chisel types. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/udA0AnNxWEo/w-d-xo.html
@@TeranAtelier Sorry I missed that one.
@@Dickie2702 No problem. I hope you find it helpful!
These videos are so unbelievably helpful, thank you so much for making this man.
My pleasure!
Can u put a detailed video regarding various color combination of leather ( finished or DIY dyed) & thread for veg tanned items?
Thank you for your suggestion! I think that will make a good video.
which the better thread use for leather handicraft.
How about a video on starting and stopping when stitching. Specifically, how many stitches to back stitch at the beginning and end. Which are effective and look good. There seem to be many different opinions on how to start and stop a stitch line. I only know they should match in number. Only a suggestion.
Thank you for your suggestion. I have been meaning to do a more focused stitching video that would cover that in detail. For now I would say any back stitching you do should be balanced and that it is only strictly required for linen thread. You can get away with no back stitches when using polyester thread for the cleanest look.
Could you do a tutorial on the invisible back Stich?
That is not a stitch that I do often, it would be hard to for me to make a tutorial on it.
What thread size is in 5:00 and is that round or flat?
And which type of thread round or flat gives better stitching appearance
They are all round twisted polyester threads. There are few different brands there but all are around 0.5 to 0.55mm. Flat will give you a wider looking stitch for the same thickness but after stitching you should be hammering down on your stitches so they end up being quite similar. I suggest trying both and seeing which one you like more.
please make video on explaining different mm like 3 4 or 5 mm pricking itron prongs .i am planing to buy one set for home diy stuff making and learning but i am confused on which daimond shaped prong size should i buy,plz do reply
Hi, that is a good idea for a video. For starting in leathercraft I would recommend 3.85 or 4mm, which is suitable for small and medium projects. 3mm or less is normally reserved very small projects like watch straps, and 5mm is more suitable for large projects like bags.
@@TeranAtelier hello there thank you for replying i was wandering if 4mm is good for ipad and iphone covers wallets watch straps and belts ,pouches and even bags and backpacks wtc i mean i am new to leather craft and i follow you ,leodis and a few more and learning many things but i am also very selective about tools dont want to lose money for useless items so needed guidance.thank you brother for reply and guidance.
So would it make a difference if i used 4mm pricking irons instead of 3.85mm?
No they would look very similar, it is all down to personal preference.
What kind of hammer do you use to hammer down the stitch lines?
It should be a large face hammer which is slightly domed outwards and the face should be polished so it will not mark the leather.
Normally leather bag thread size?
It depends on the size and styling of the bag. A good starting point is 4mm stitching spacing with 0.6mm thread.
@@TeranAtelier best thread brand?
