🧵Take your hand stitching skills to the next level by thinking outside the saddle stitch! In this course you will discover FOUR alternatives to the standard saddle stitch, each with a unique look and added benefits.👇
👉'Le point Anglais', or the 'back stitch', as it's confusingly called in English. This presents an unusual look on the rear side (shown) and is traditionally used to stitch delicate linings and thin skins to tougher leathers and hides. On the front it looks like a regular saddle stitch with even higher angles than normal (should your pricking iron allow).
👉The Blind centre stitch (if I designed it, I'ma name it!😉) is a modified version of the shoemakers 'closed channel seam', but much easier and tougher. It is completely invisible from all sides and provides the option of no visible stitching on your project where/if desired. This creates one of the toughest seams there is due to zero friction on the threads (I have to try this on a knife sheath!).
👉The alternating stitch is a fun option that allows you to play around with more colours in your designs to create something quite unique (see my blog in bio for a colour matching cheat guide!).
👉Lastly there's the wrapped stitch. This provides a unique look whilst reducing tare-out on thin skins and high stress parts by reinforcing the leather beneath it. It also looks like a candy cane with bright colours! Cut a groove before stitching and you're still guaranteed to get angles on your seam too.
