How to Saddle Stitch Leather

In this instructable, I'll go over the very basics of hand sewing leather using a saddle stitch and what tools you'll need. I'll also share some tips I've learned along the way about getting the best possible look out of your saddle stitching.

I have been struggling with the saddle stitch since I started a month ago and this has made it so clear and simple. Thank you so much!!!

So, this is less of an instructable, and more of a "watch me quickly do something from an awkward angle with no instruction"

What is holding the leather together? Some kind of clamp??

I have no idea what I'm doing and trying to leanr; jump cuts and fast forwards don't exactly help me watch and learn. Also, the prep for getting the stitch started and if you reccomend gluing or not would have been helpful.

This is how not to saddle stitch. Sorry to be negative but its totally wrong.

[alexandervonbronewskimanuf]

this instruction is packed with so many mistakes, it should be removed. but it might be somehow a saddlestitch if that is the point.

Guessing the leather came pre hole made

Why are you editing out video frames and fast fowarding. Makes this vid hard to follow. Thumbs down. Remove this video and stop wasting people's time.

This is not an instructable - just you doing it for yourself without explaining anything to us, to annoying music. And it looks horrible. Should be neatly angled on both sides.
