Handmade leather stitching

The most commonly used method in handmade leather goods is overlapping stitching. Overlapping stitching is when two pieces of leather are stitched one on top of the other. If you want to connect one piece of leather to another piece of leather on the same plane, you need to use the butt stitching process. Butt stitching is also very common in life. For example, baseballs are sewn together using the butt stitching method.

This kind of seam The method also has a very appropriate name, it is called the baseball stitch method. This sewing method is suitable for curved or irregular-shaped items. When there is filling, such as baseballs, after filling, it is impossible to thread the needle from the back to the surface, so you need to use a single thread to sew. But from an aesthetic point of view, double-thread stitching will look much better. The stitched thread chamber will be V-shaped. If single-thread stitching is used, the misalignment will be larger.

Baseball seams : 1. Pass two needles from the back to the surface

2. The needle and thread pass through the two cut surfaces from the surface and then pass out on the back of another piece of leather. The same goes for the other needle and thread.

3. Two The needles are inserted from the back to the surface and then tightened

4. Repeat the above steps, and just stitch back the thread on the surface.

The baseball sewing method is relatively simple. After sewing, the two sections can be slightly opened, which is very suitable for use. On items similar to round shapes. There is also a cross stitching method, which is also more common

Cross stitch method: 1. Insert the needle into the surface, and then pass it out through the opposite hole

2. Pass the needle thread on the right through the hole on the left from the surface, and thread the left through the right (and shoelaces It’s almost the same)

3. The back is the same as the first step (just tighten the needle and go around once)

There is also a third type which is an enhanced version of the cross suture method

Strengthen the cross suture method: this seam The cross stitch method is very similar to the cross stitch method. The only difference is that the hole on the same side is circled around the cross stitch. Generally, the strength of the cross stitch is enough
