In this lecture, Nigel will be taking you through the skills and techniques, that are required when trying to stitch multiple layers of leather together. This is the most frequently faced challenge in sheath making. A well-made sheath can often have up to 5 layers of leather. Many short cuts have been found for this problem but all let the stitching and finished quality down.
Learn the correct technique and elevate your build quality.
