HOW TO HAND STITCH LEATHER, Saddle stitching tutorial for beginners

In this video, I will show you how to hand stitch leather using the saddle stitching method. Stitching leather by hand using the saddle stitching method creates a decorative stitch as well as ensuring a stitch that won't unravel like a machine sewn stitch.

I recommend that you try saddle stitching on a scrap piece of leather before implementing it on your projects. It may seem fiddly to begin with but after some practice, it'll become like second nature.
