Stitching leather

Ricardovanleeuwen:
Hello, i gathered enough leather to make a quiver, i wanna Stitch It with b55 Just because i wouldnt like to get It ripped open. I have a question about stitches.. i dont know wich kind of Stitch to use best?

Pat B:
I use a saddle stitch for quivers and bags. If you don't know, a saddle stitch is one long thread with a needle on each end. Both needles go in the same hole but from different sides, pulled tight then on to the next one. A running stitch will work too but not as strong. You could also use lacing instead of thread for a more rugged look.

Ricardovanleeuwen:
I think i stick to the b55 since its really strong and i can also put the Stitch close to each other so the edge Will stiffen up

Pat B:
Looking forward to seeing it when done.   :OK

Hawkdancer:
If you are sewing stiffer leather, be sure your holes are big enough.  Also make sure you have enough room to work on the inside of your stitch, if necessary!
