If your needles are getting stuck while you are saddle stitching try this little trick, give it a little twist to clear the wide part of the stitching hole.

I really should’ve learned how to sew leather properly before working with it 😂 Fortunately I only made a decoration for a keyring but I was using pliers to pull the needle through and my poor needle was much worse for wear by the end of it. I also didn’t have the proper tool to make the holes. The keyring turned out alright by some miracle!!! But I’m going to do things properly next time

Could you possibly point me in the right direction for a beginner to purchase decent tools for leather work please. I make wallets and totes, pouches and that kind of thing.
