You can create a stitch line more easily when you select your path at the bottom and you to edit-> path -> offset path. Fill in -4 mm as a value and hit enter. This will offset your line 4mm inwards and the rounded corners will also be perfectly scaled in proportion. Give it a try, it will make your workflow quicker and easier. Cheers. Love your videos by the way! Great work
This ⬆️
exactly what I came here to comment.
That is one of the first things I notched in the video. Also noticed there are so many ways to do the same task. I appreciate the different perspectives and tool usage. Always get to learn something.
For stich lines I recommend selecting the outline *Object -> Path -> Offset Path* then with the direct select tool remove certain edges and bring down the corners.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely have to try that 👊🏼
thanks
That was awesome dude, I learned some new tricks! Great work as always
Thanks homie!
Can you try made this pattern on iPad ? Because I have problem with rounding buttom corners. When I select them and tap 10 mm in transform section, all the time it’s change on 3.532. Why ???
I have watched several youtube videos on pattern making for wallets and your tutorial is absolutely easy to comprehend and easy to replicate on adobe illustrator!! Ty!
Would you consider one more video showing the laser cut out process. Many people would be interested in your laser settings and the min and max of the thickness of leather.
finally a video on the applicable parts of illustrator for leather. cheers
Great tutorial. Just a tip: when you do stitches, you can try the next menu comand: Object -> Path -> Offset Path and enter a negative value "-4mm". It works great even with complicated designs and saves you some time.
I was going to mention that. Also...he should leave the stroke between the stitch marks, and keep them at 1mm. The reason is if he engraves it, and burns the dashes through...he'll have an inset to lay his stitching into.
exactly. was literally about to comment on this video about that
for stitching lines, u could just use a negative offset instead. saved my time measuring them one by one
Yea for sure. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks man, I've always been afraid of illustration part but now I see that's easiest part.
My favorite tutorial of the year.... I have a laser machine looking to do this and just like that i learned a ton of information. Keep up the good work. Excellent explanation and great cinematography elements in the video.
Excellent! I hope you do more of these--I'm one of the many Adobe CC/Illustrator-stunted people out here. Love this video.
Not conna lie. exactly a video i needed right now. Been doing leatherwork for a while. and was just planing to learn how to do this stuff. This video is a perfect starting point. cheers mate for that :)
This is a great informative video. I grouped tips from yours and another leather template video and I found you did certain things alot easier. Can't wait to make something and cut it with my laser.
Cool vid, should use offset path for your stitch line. Set to -4 or -5 then use the [C]ut tool to remove the top line. Does all the radius and alignment change for you 👍
Thanks!
Thanks so much for this video. I used it as a walk through and worked through the lesson beside your teachings and learned a bunch.
Appreciate the advice! Also saw a fuji camera on the desk. I just got a X-T3 for photo work and it's been great for product photos. Always get stoked when I see another fuji shooter.
Wow. I have been trying to do this in Publisher and it is sooooo hard and not the right software, just what I had. Thank you so much! I'm definitely going to get this software and try skillshare.
Best explanations and easy to follow steps I've seen yet. Always great videos!
Really useful, thanks. There aren't very many useful illustrator tutorials around for leather crafters.
It's so awesome!
Love your work!
Thank you for this!
Will try to make my own pattern)
Love the videos. Your messenger bag you made is on my dream board!
Great video mate, I've always wanted to try some leatherwork and you are a big inspiration to start that.
Quick tip as someone who uses Illustrator everyday, you can speed up your stitch hole path creation by selecting your original outer shape then head up to the 'Object > Path > Offset Path' menu and set the offset to -4mm, hit OK and you're good to go! It'll create that new path for you, the inner radius of your corners will look natural and it will automatically align it perfectly in position. You can then just direct select and remove any parts of the original path you don't need stitch holes for too.
I was going to comment this, glad someone else did it before me!
Finally someone made this video! I was literally using Paint for my patterns cause Adobe looked too complicated. Thanks a lot, it's super helpful!
Yea it’s not hard when you know just a few things! Glad to help 🙂
Just a friendly tip on the stitch line: Object - Path - Offset path - type your negative distance and boom. Love your videos man
Yeah, I've seen this done before, much easier. Works in a similar manner in inkscape.
Tremendously helpful! To the point but with great details. Thank you!
Good lob, 👍. Illustrator is great. I use to struggle with it and really hate it. But I hung in there and now we're good freind . I will suggest this video to my glowforge group for people who are still struggling with the program. I hate to show my file because people will always comment, "can I get a copy of your file". They can watch a video like this and within a week they will know enough to do most glowforge projects.
Thank you for sharing and your work is fantastic. It was nice to be reminded why I love adobe premium suite software.
Just subbed to adobe and made this, super clear instructions! Now to print it out and make one...
I’m really grateful for this tutorial! Thank you so much! I been wanting a tutorial like this and finally I found it. Thanks once again!
Thank you! Glad I could help.
Thanks a lot. Few days ago I searching video like this about stitch line
and how to create it. but I create shape as circle1mm and line from center of circle for 4mm. Then I create brush style and apply to rectangles. But your way is more simple.
a video I've been looking for for a long time. thanks
SUPER PRACTICAL!!! Thanks so much. I will be using this in my workflow. #peace from Ottawa, CANADA.
Really useful, specially the stitching lines! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for your video! it was really helpful for me, i´m just starting to learn and make my own leather patterns. greetings from Lima - Peru.
Thank you SO much for sharing this. I was able to replicate the results 100%.
Quick tip, you can move the zero point of the rulers by dragging the top left corner where the 2 rulers meet to wherever you like! that sets the new 0 ;) everything left to it or above it will be registered as minus
Great to know! Thank you 🙏🏼
Ryan!Never been this early, love your vids man...All the best!
I am running out of words to thank you
Thank you so much
Amazing tutorial. And amazing professor too.
Yes, I have been looking for this tutorial for awhile. Hope it works in Illustrator CS5 as well.
This is amazingly helpful!! Thanks!!
Al fin un nuevo video!
Great work Ryan.
Hey, nice video. There is an easier way to create a stitch line out of your shape. Copy your shape, offset path (-4mm in your case), and only THEN delete extra part. Then you might need little adjustments, sometimes you don`t need even them :)
Wow, I learned so much. thank you.
This is so incredibly helpful!
Excellent and very instructional. Well done.
Great use of illustrator and I’ll be using MM more now!
Very Very Very Useful! Thank you so much! Again!
Use the “scale corners” option when resizing a shape to keep the rounded corners in the correct proportion
Brilliant and so nicely explained 👍
Very useful video! Thank you very much!
Legendary thanks !!
Yooo that battlestation setup looking freshh tho 👀
Thank you for this video. I need to understand one thing. Sometimes watching your videos i see you trim the edges even if you used the die to cut the leather. So if you design in illustrator something you have to consider the die cutting line and the one you trim. And after that the line where you will make the holes for stitching. What distances you use for all these lines?
Excellent video 😃 Thank you.
Thank you so much! Super helpful!
Amazing Video!
Thank you very much Ryan!
Greets from Germany
Thanks for watching!
Great work wow
Hey - I was thinking, why not use Object->Path->Offset to create the stitchline? works well for me, and is easier with more complex forms.
Also, I have made a habit of not “subtracting” any holes from shapes, instead I just group them together. It makes later modifications easier, and the laser will just cut where the lines are either way.
Offset is the correct way. He is doing it the hard way.
HELLO SIR
I m a biggest fan here and i m from nepal
i have been learning from your videos and u r my inspiration sir thank you
Great tutorial, very easy to follow.
awesome! would like to see more tuts with Illustrator patterns making💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
WOW Thanks I learned a lot
You saved my LIFE !!!!!
Many thanks for this and so much other content. I have a question about cutting this pattern out on the Glowforge, which I am considering buying. Do you have to make any adjustments for the kerf, or is it "just working" ? Also, with the Glowforge, are you getting charring, and if so, how bad is it and how to you clean it off?
Wonderful job brother
If you made a MagSafe iPhone wallet, I’d buy it! Love my LKG card wallet! Been through the washing machine 4 times and still looks good!!!
Thanks for sharing , i really get help
Por favor pudieras hacer mas videos como este de otros modelos? ,me parecio excelente que nos expliques hacer la parte mas dificil de crear,aunque yo no hablo ingles y tengo que recurrir al traductor, por favor te lo ruego que nos sigas enseñando en el ilustrator a hacer este tipo de patrones,saludos desde Lima(PERÚ)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the video, you did a great job at teaching your technique.
You mentioned your die maker a few times. Do you have a Canadian Die maker you use?
I just love u mannn
U are the inspiration for me to start my leather craft business
Much love fromm India❤❤
Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks for the skillshare link! got a year for like 68 bucks!
Hi Ryan, amazing channel !! I lived in Mexico I would like to learn and have the necessary tools, any suggestions?
Nice , please make more videos Like this ✌️
I like your video's so much! Thanks for that! Could you do a video like this on watch straps?
Thank bro
Supper helpful
hello! I want to try to cut my patterns in a SILHOUETTE Cameo 4 cutter but not sure if the sewing dots will match the tool!!!!
Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
Couple of questions though.
1. Do you usually add trim allowance to your projects? I'm afraid I couldn't line up two pieces covered in glue perfectly from the first try (don't laugh).
2. What's the basic approach to do the measurement? I mean if a business card has size X*Y mm, if I'll create a pocket of the same size between stitching lines it probably wouldn't fit at the end (because of the card thickness, leather thickness issues).
What's the general rule of thumb here?
What amount of "ease" should one add to the original size of the object?
Thanks for the time reading and probably answering!
Same here - loved the tutorial - informative, but guidance towards measurements to keep leather and cards thickness in mind would be terribly useful :)
I have seen a video where he talks about it. We do on our internal stuff. Makes things easier. But when using a laser cutter all edges and corners are perfect. pretty easy to line up, sand and burnish.
언제나 재밌는 영상 잘 보고 있습니다.
Hi. If I want to make some pattern bigger then A4 how can I make it to print for example on two A4 (to put togheter 2 A4 for make one piece). Can you make a tutorial for this? Thank you and sorry for my English
Little tips for Illustrator.
1- When you have the rectangle tool selected, just click on or off the artboard then a window will pop up for you to input your desired dimensions!
2- When both shapes are selected for an alignment, click on the shape you want the other shape to be aligned to. This shape will stay where you want it to be while the other will get aligned!
3- The shape builder tool lets you substract an area by holding alt/opt and dragging your cursor through the shapes. Without alt/opt, it will combine them!
4- With a shape selected, hold ctrl/command to grab and move said shape by an anchor (vertices) to have a more precise positioning
These are GOLD! Thanks so much!
@@LittleKingGoodsanother one that will save you a ton of time:
Select your shape and use Object-> Offset Path and enter -4mm in the popup. Stitch line done.
Very good work....What thickness of leather did you use ???
Any suggestions one who to use for making die cutters, i have had some real expensive american made ones show up and not cut perfectly out the box.
One thing I just learned working with my glowforge and illustrator is that if you don't DESELECT the "Responsive" box under "more options" when you save the SVG file, this can remove the absolute sizing done in illustrator and scale it to something random (for me it was ~75% of the designed size) when you load it into the glowforge. So make sure to turn this off!
amazing, I can's see when I can work with the software like that!
You should!
Hi great video what version of Addobe Illustrator are you using.
I have a Snapmaker 2.0 and I'm trying to put it to work on the Laser but I have problems making it a G Code for the CNC Laser to recognize, what programs can I use to use the Laser?
May i ask what type of leather suitable tu cut on laser machine?
LOVE YOU
Thank you
Good morning , Your my leather goods mentor by the way sorry your stuck with me ..lol All jokes aside your work is phenomenal! Quick question what size thread do you use when making your Tote Bag vs a Watch band? I like the Japanese Vinymo Thread but unsure what size I should order. Thanks
I have a question: i want to start making and selling wallets. Its not likei dont havemy own designs but i was wondering whats the deal if you take free pdf designs,or even buy design templates off the various available sources and start making andsellingthise designs? Would that come under copyright infringnent and would that be illegal?since my card wallet might overlap with someone elses design partially ir even fully in the case of me having bought or downloaded a template deisgn. So basically how serious is copying and selling in the leathercraft business?
thanks
excelente gracias
This was so informational!! Plz my more videos like this!
This was exactly what I needed. Couldn't figure out the stitch holes :D
me2,thanks
When I group the dots and the shape I can't select only the dots once I ungroup. Any ideas why?
to make the stitches ---> 1- don't duplicate the shape, just -----> click on object in the top menu bar ----> path --> offset path --> et voila!!!
how do you have the dashed line config to mm?
