Guys, This thread is about "patterns for a possible bag"
not about SB's magazine. Let's get back to the original thread or start your own magazine thread somewhere else.
The Buckskinner article has inspired me to try a little leather work. I need an awl and needles, thread or sinew, a stitching wheel and of course leather. Is there anything else? What is an edge beveler? (Zurl's article mentions them).
I have seen an needle type thing with a spool on it for stitching. Is that a good idea to get?
I think the hole spacer would be extremely useful to have, but not because I can't punch the holes fairly evenly by hand. If you are using heavy leather, or the pattern was cut less than precisely into the leather front and back of the item, plus a welt, it is nightmare to sew. This is especially so, if the pieces are punched seperately, or just two of the three together. With a spacer, you can line up the first hole on each of the items and ALL the holes will lines up well for each of the pieces. It is terrible trying to line up the holes to poke the needle through as you sew. You might be able to get two of three free-hand punched holes to line up, but that third one is a pain.
The curved needles are also extrememely useful since you can push the needle through the holes with your thumb on the back of the curve.
