How to get a rolled edge on leather| Leather Edging 4 the Overlay Technique

How to get a rolled edge on leather| Leather Edging 4 the Overlay Technique Back toward the beginning when we only had our first skiver, which was built back in the 1950’s, we developed this edge treatment for the outside front walls of all our leather bags and totes. This was originally made to a finished width of 3/4 inch but now we make it anywhere from 5/8 to 1 inch wide depending on the bag and leather. This technique uses a separate piece of leather which is rolled and then laid over the raw edge of another piece of leather. It is then sewn using either Durk, our heavy duty saddle process or Seiko, our lighter weight process, depending on the application, leather and width of the edging. In this video we demonstrate this edge on our smaller and lighter weight bag, The Sleep Nomad. For other parts of this edging series videos check this playlist: Hope y
