Thank you. Back in 7th/8th grade leather shop (1967/68; 1968/69 school years) the double loop stitch was my favorite and most used. I haven't done any leather work since, but plan on doing some again soon. My old leather shop instructor Mr. Reins (he also taught my dad and his two younger brothers, and my two younger brothers) would roll in his grave if he knew I'd forgotten how do do this stitch. As for splicing ... we removed the needle, squared and beveled the end, glued another length of lace after squaring and beveling the end of it,, to the original lace then re-attached the needle and continued on. If memory serves, our glue was rubber cement for the lace splices, and when necessary the edges of what we were making. Beveling and gluing seems an easier way than stitching in a separate lace, then bringing the original lace over to the end of the splice. How do you hide the length of original lace laying along the side of however many stitches were made with the splice lace, when you bring it over to the end of the splice? What if the original lace isn't long enough to go the length of the splice?
I do this type of lacing like once a year. I always check back at this video to refresh my memory. So much easier to understand than the lacing book that I have.
Thank you. I hadn't done this type of lacing for over 20 years. As I watched (and re-watched) it all came back to me!! Thank you for having these video tutorials available.
Yes so great to find and see this. A lady from church brought her worn out Bible and asked if I could re fasten the loose signatures and make a nice durable cover. There shouldn't be any problem drilling and lasing the signatures but I had wondered how to fix the outer edges of the leather cover. On scrap I've tried scarfing and folding but it looks amateur or even Kindergarten class quality. This lacing technique should look nice plus give the outer edges more strength. Thanks again. I luv UA-cam crafters. Really wish I knew how to edit how to videos. I would like to give back to this community part of what I have learned and pass my metal working knowledge on to whomever that could use it.
If you haven't done so find a beginners set of tools and practice practice practice you will improve only by doing it. Now there are online things like this. I learned by trial and error. Remember once you hit the tool it's almost impossible to correct the stamp you just put down crooked. I learned a couple things watching this about the starting and finishing the lacing. I used to do the X thing like when he started lacing but there is another way where you start by making a loop around the end of your lacing that looks the same as when he finished and had that loop that he went into to end the lacing. Good luck with your crafting and start simple with some like keychains fobs etc. Don't start with a wallet they are more involved to make and you may be discouraged if you have a bad experience. Don't give up :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your amazing skill and talent. I'm only sorry that this medium leaves us all open to the mean, nasty and cowardly comments from some! Please continue to share your knowledge as we are so grateful ☺
id never done a double loop stitch or a wallet, so I bought one of those precut kits with instructions, but their instructions on the actual stitch are ATROCIOUS! couldn't follow them at all! thanks to yall I've completed my first wallet and the double loop is mesmerizingly beautiful!
This is exactly what I’m looking for. I inherited a tooled leather handbag from my grandmother, and the lacing has determinate day. I should be able to follow these instructions!
Very Nice, very educational....slow and deliberate explanation during his work so you can visualize and understand while he his demonstating the stitch...5 STAR Video !!!!
wow thank you! i collect western hats amd wanted to do this on the brim of a few of my buckaroo styles. very helpful and you guys have a wonderful supply of leather goods.
EXTREMELY INTERESTING !!! I think I have found a new hobby !!! Years ago I used to do leatherwork and forgot a lot of the techniques... You are VERY TALENTED !!! Thank you...
I did it with a lace made by my own with wheel cutter. I worked on a project of a simple bag with thin leather it looks bulky but if you look at it accurately you can see the pattern of the lace. Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this it has been easily 15 years since I have done any leather work and could not remember how to do this for the life of me.
Beautiful! How can anyone not like this? To click the "Dont Like" is so disrespectful. You should be ashamed of yourself. This man did an excellent job detailing the "how to". Great video...
Netlace56 I guess because there are people who makes money from this kind of skill set. Or making money from teaching this. One way another this is an excellent video
Thank you very much for the tutorial. Its easy to understand and goes to detail like how yo start, what to do when the leather strip finishes and how to start with a new one plus how many other important details like the corners and how to finish. I think the subject is easily explained and the information comes handy for leatherwork students like myself.
Great video!! Exactly what I needed to know!! Thank you! (And thank you for getting right to the tutorial! Some teachers, well meaning I’m sure, spend half the video explaining what they’re going to do, then do it! I Know what they ’re going to do, that’s why I clicked on the video!)
@Zissou1107 The "strap" is a pre-cut 1/8 inch (3.175mm) wide leather lace. Yes, you can cut lace yourself with a lace cutter. The needle is a 1190-00 two-prong lacing needle. All of these items can be found on our websites
this is a really clear and simple tutorial :) now i can go and make a quiver :D i think you also taught me how to sew leather by hand.. thanks for that too :)
+Rhonda Ja Glad to help! You may also enjoy our other Double Loop Lacing video done by Jim Linnell, available at ua-cam.com/video/HIpanSwuy4o/v-deo.htmlm25s

Hello, I am thrilled about this video! I have a Mexican hand-tooled purse that I want to restore. Will you please tell me what size lacing I should buy and how I should clean and treat the leather once I have removed all of the old lacing.

Local women hook up
This stitch work is by far the best I've ever seen. So well done.
Mr. Hurst thank you in sharing your skills and talent. Share more of your leather project.
My mind is blown! 🤯 It looks like one continuous stitch even though you spliced it. Beautifully done. I'm subscribing now to learn more.
Thank you. I hadn't done this type of lacing for over 20 years. As I watched (and re-watched) it all came back to me!! Thank you for having these video tutorials available.
Do you know what type of needle is that
