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?

This stitch work is by far the best I've ever seen. So well done.

[@earlelzy7243]

My mind is blown! 🤯 It looks like one continuous stitch even though you spliced it. Beautifully done. I'm subscribing now to learn more.

[@champo976]

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!

[@gooflaw3377]

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.

Mr. Hurst thank you in sharing your skills and talent. Share more of your leather project.

[@yuurishibuya4797]

It is so peaceful to see the ending blend itself soo well that it looks like an infinity ♾ loop

[@TeddisYouTube]

What a gorgeous trade! I am so eager to learn! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom! I could watch you for hours! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Sherry-jx9hs]

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 :)

[@GypsyEncounters]

Your videos are so helpful for beginners like myself. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and time with the world.

[@dperry19661]

not for me

[@samieljessop8461]

This stitch is the best I have ever seen

[@marktate4466]

I have watched this about 50 times because I always forget! Thanks George

[@sandinewton1896]

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!

[@patriciajrs46]

Thank ypu for teaching this with a clear, concise video.

[@clairewelsman1489]

Omg I've been staring at books and guides in the kit i have for months and tried and failed. This literally makes it easy!!

[@lindabrabon1491]

This is an excellent video. I was able to stitch a medicine bag with no problems.

[@seccorps]

I hope to learn this! Thanks for the demo. I will watch again.

[@tatyanadelcarmencaballerol8490]

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.

[@saavedraguitar626]

Excellent video. I’m attempting to make a leather cover for my Telecaster , this was the part I was worried about . Thank u

[@michaelrosenow4393]

[@heathergreen4184]

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!)

[@jaybarber68]

What happens after you cut it at the end? Just leave it?

Joder maestro me has dejado flipando, ¡ole y ole y ole!

[@enzosantomarco9974]

Very good work. The holes are 2mm in diameter ??? Thank you...

[@brandontylerburt]

Does including the 'x' part of the stitch (rather than just going around and through each hole) also serve a particular function, so that it would be chosen for certain projects and not for others? Or is it mostly used because it looks neater?

[@SCOTTISHANPROUD]

Great video, thank you. Does anyone have a video doing this stitch with two colours thanks in advance.

[@FKNSENDIT]

Is it different with ur camera to where I view it cause I'm new an started the lace an go to the right .are you lacing to the left or right

[@Kurisuma]

Thanks for this video, I give a look to the web site: can you tell me or link what is the lace you used in the video? Many thanks.

[@theresepitzulo1775]

Wonderful. How far apart are these holes, sir?

[@hammerdragon4321]

I'm currently working on my first wallet in years the last time I made a wallet was when I was in high school 27 years ago and I still have that wallet I made I'm considering redewing the lacing on it

[@thunderusnight]

Watching in 2020! This is quite old but the relevancy has surged and this will never become outdated

[@coburnlowman]

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 KZbin 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.

[@scaramanga4925]

Fantastic piece of leather crafting from George here. Keep up the amazing work!

[@infin8ee]
