- How to add stitching holes to your next pattern design
In this video I show how to add stitching holes to your next leather pattern design. I show how to add slanted stitching holes for pricking irons as well as simple circle holes for pointed Japanese chisels. I also show the best way to layout stitching holes for a pattern for even spacing and how to layout stitching holes around t-pockets for wallet making.

This is one of the most important skill to create a perfect stitching for a professional work instead of guessing. Worth learning. Awesome video ! I wish you can show also your approach to round corner in the future video. Thanks !
Thanks! It gets a bit more complicated with pricking irons around corners but with diamond chisels it is quite straight forward.
I don't even use CAD but the principles you're teaching here are very useful! Will try to do the same in illustrator. thank you very much!
I am glad you still found it helpful!
Another extremely helpful video! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Amazing video. Thank you so much for your time.
Glad it was helpful!
So useful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Thanks!
Thank you!!
Thank you my friend
Always welcome!
Wonderful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very smart use of the protractor. I made my stitches by eye and had to print and adjust several times in order to get the pattern right. Other than that I do everything the same way, only in Adobe Illustrator.
I’m fascinated by this topic and by the difference between prepunching the holes before glueing vs gluing and then punching. Also cutting everything to size first vs having oversized pieces and then trimming at the end. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
Thanks! I didn't have a real protractor on hand so I downloaded one. I rarely pre-punch single pattern pieces before gluing as it doesn't always align perfectly when gluing. Trimming after gluing saves a lot of sanding time and gives the best looking edges, I try to use that method as much as possible. I am not a fan of pre-punching every piece of a pattern before gluing as it is difficult to get nice clean edges.
What I’m trying this week is to cut one layer to final size first and then have everything else a bit oversized. In the end I trim everything to match the master layer. I change my method a lot as I’m learning. Writing this comment I just had an idea to build a simple clamping jig that holds the work in place under a metal ruler when cutting.
Thank you for your video and your feedback!
@@randomscandinavian6094 That is a good technique, I use it for watch straps where the inside lining is cut to size and then used as a guide to trim the outer layer.
Nice video, in addition to copy and pasting the stitch you can use an array function and toss in the number of holes (I estimate then add or remove as necessary) little less work 😉
Thanks! There are so many ways to space out stitches in CAD. The straight edges are simple whereas the curved edges take a bit more work.
Nice
Thanks!
Cool video. I use illustrator and make my stitch lines first then offset path to final dimensions. My problem is after I dye my leather I want to change my hardware. As makers we are our worst critic 😏 thanks for your time in making this video.
Yes there is always little things that can be improved on. I will try your method starting with the stitching lines.
Great videos, thank you! What do you recommend for spacing for 2.7mm irons?
Thanks! You can still design the layout so you can get your even stitching spacing but it is hard to get smaller spaced stitches lining up well to a pattern, planning by eye may be a more time effective option. For the pockets you can try overlapping the t-pockets like it did in my Himalayan crocodile card holder video.
Thanks for all efforts and nice work.
Would you please explain again the step of (copy with past point) time 3:15 as I didn’t get it, although i tried many many times. how you select the end point and put them in one line after you moved little to left side. Thanks again
Thanks! For that part I used the copy with base point command and selected a base point 3.38mm to the left of the top of the stitch, then when pasting, the pasted stitch will appear 3.38mm from where I position the cursor. Another method would be to draw in a horizontal line 3.38mm long and then use the normal copy command on that line and and stitch, then paste both of them together, and then remove all the unneeded lines later.
i took a piece of clear plastic vinyl and punched it , the plastic vinyl is used for covering furniture in the day. now after your leather is marked where y would stich lay plastic on leather and see what to do up or down.Use a punch to witness 1 hole then remove plastic and you should be good to go
Oh my aching head. I do it the old fashioned way with pencil and paper. Using 3mm irons makes the math easier. Can that program figure out a curved gusset including the gusset fold that is stitched to the bag body? Keep up the good work.
Thanks! CAD software is very versatile and you can extract the length of any curved line like the outline of a gusset. I haven't tried designing a gusset with a fold but I wouldn't think it would be an issue. I am planning a video making a simple gusset using CAD so you may get some ideas from that.
Hi! What is the size of the thread you use for 3.38 chisel? I'm just into making leather wallets, and I really liket your stiching size of your wallet at 7:44, looked pretty nice!
Thanks! That wallet was 4mm spacing with 0.5mm thread. For 3.38mm chisels I use 0.45-0.6mm threads depending on the look.
Which version of NanoCad did you use? Plus, Pro, Mechanica, Construction, 3DScan or just the NANOCAD?
I have been using the free version of NanoCAD for all my videos. It is sufficient for working in 2D.
good video. Since a year, are there any better approaches for offset paths and stitching hold using AutoCAD LT ?
Thanks! The ARRAY function is also useful to place stitches along a stitching line that has been offset from the border. This is very useful for curved edges as the stitches will always be rotated properly with respect to the stitching line.
@@TeranAtelier what about in Nanocad? I don't think they have the array function
@@-JMR- NanoCAD also has the array function. Just type ARRAY and hit enter and a dialog box will come up where you enter the settings. It works very similar to AutoCAD.
Excellent video, how can I send you a project I made for evaluation? I'm currently using AutoCAD in projects.
Sure! Send me a message in Instagram: @teranatelier
You should try the ARRAY command. You'll thank me later! ;)
It is a great command, but it doesn't really suit my approach for stitching holes around curves.
@@TeranAtelier yes, for the curves, it's better to go manual, cause array respects the length of the curve and not the length of the straight line between two chisels.
hey sir ! how can i make them apply to a round shape ? that would be awesome.
For curves, use 2-prong pricking irons to preserve the spacing of stitches.
@@TeranAtelier thanks for your response but i meant in nanocad mr teran
@@mohamedoueslati933 Sorry about that. The way I do it in CAD is to copy and paste circles that have a radius equal to your pricking iron spacing. Paste a new circle center where the circumference intersects the stitching line. The circle centers will then be the centers of your stitching holes. I hope this helps.
Is this functionality available in nanocad free?
Yes the version of NanoCAD that I used in the video was the free one. It has all the basic functions the same as AutoCAD.
I can not download the nanocad software. Is there a trick?
There is a link in the video description and you will need to sign up to be able to download the free version of the software.
Hello 3mm french types pricking iron for awl size?
It would depend on the brand of your pricking irons as they have different prong widths. 3mm is a small stitch so I would go with the small size awl like #0 or #1.
@@TeranAtelier my 3mm pricking iron size 1.5mm for awl size 1.4mm vs 1.6mm ?
@@mahmutgurell The difference would be almost unnoticeable but I would go for the 1.6mm.
@@TeranAtelier thank you
man my screen turn black not white
If you are referring to the background color in NanoCAD, got to 'Tools', 'Options', 'Color Settings' and change 'Background' to be white.
