I will have to say that from what I can read there, the author does not really know how its done either.

Hes not a bad leatherworker by any means but im currently at a standstill in my apprenticeship because of this stitch.
#The ivisible stitch how to#
Problem is though, he doesnt know how to do it, its just simply doesnt work and its just a bas stitch in strength and practicality, and his research isnt nearly as extensive since i have personally called the irish dublin museum and they told me how it was stitch, but he blew off saying "they arnt leather workers so how could they know what they are talking about". Idk the idea is that, ide be able to do something noone else can do therefore im special or somethng. But i cannot figure out a way to draw it togeather using this method. And i work really hard researching and what not on the tooling and size and i dont want ugly stitches that dont work, itd feel like a waste of 3 months of research. He refuses i do it any other way, And he doesnt seem to know how to do it which is frustrating.īut im frustrated cause the stitch doesnt go with this bag since the pattern has been changed 4 times. Well i suggested doing it that way, but i absolutely must do it that way shown. should the mentor not show you how by.mentoring? The easiest way to do this is to hold the knitted pieces together with the wrong side out.In the Stohlman art of hand sewing there is a hidden stich technique but used to wrap a covering piece around the open edge of multiple layers on a saddles and even then only one side of the stitch is hidden. It involves essentially making a flap in the leather into which you set the stitch and then bone the flap back down over the stiches as in the video. However if you are sewing edge butted to edge as it appears you want to you would need to is a flap on both sides of the butt seam on the top and then use your technique but from the top so the stitching works against the way the seam wants to open. Insert the tapestry needle from right to left into the last stitch and pull the thread through.įor purl knits, you can also use the same stitch.

Insert the tapestry needle from left to right into the last stitch and pull the thread through. Repeat steps 3-4 until there is only 1 stitch left on each needle. Slip from left to right into the next stitch and pull the thread through. Insert the tapestry needle from right to left into the first stitch and let the stitch slip off the needle. Slip from right to left into the next stitch and pull the thread through. Insert the tapestry needle from left to right into the first stitch and let the stitch slip off the needle. Insert the tapestry needle from left to right into the first stitch and pull the thread through. Insert the tapestry needle from right to left into the first stitch and pull the thread through. Push the stitches to the right end of the needles. Hold the pieces with the right side out and the needles parallel to each other. Thread the tail into the tapestry needle.
#The ivisible stitch plus#
Cut a thread end that is at least 2 times as long as the edge, plus 20 cm for the thread ends for sewing.
