How to use an adjustable stitch groover

[@MethodsOfMediocrity]

Turning it instead of pressing down on it just solved my problem! Thank you!

[@PrimoGIU]

Great video! Something, among others, that I have struggled with... but a quality blade solved most of my stitching groove issues. Next, when I can afford it, a quality swivel knife blade. I have so many issues, as an old, arthritic, rookie, that I'll keep watching. Thanks for these videos!

Wow the master makes it look easy

[@philsullivan3679]

Placing leather against a ruler also keeps the leather from moving while you groove. So Groovy man!

Your channel has been such a blessing

[@sundragonarabians8427]

It helps me to use a wing divider for marking the stitch line first, and then go ahead and use the stitch groover. It's an extra step, but it helps me keep the stitch groover in the right position, because it wants to seat itself in the line I made with the wing divider.

Thank you! This helps me out a lot

[@RayKonold]

That was very helpful. Thank you.

[@bobjones8864]

Excellent basic tip Joe, thanks.

[@richardkatzman1215]

Joe, I never wait until the end of the project to groove the edge. I would rather waste a piece of leather than do all the tooling like your example just to have the edger jump off the leather. That would be very aggravating to the point of giving up leather work. There is a lot of work just in doing the design and tooling it. My suggestion to your viewers is to always groove the leather first. Best regards, Richard

Thanks Joe

Your videos are so thorough thank you!!

[@melpalicia8768]

Enjoy your videos. Great job.

Very helpful video on the correct use of these tools. I started doing leatherwork years ago, the results being questionable ( more like ‘train wreck’). Thank you for posting!

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

Great tip and trick. Thank you.

[@papermugcoffeestudio9235]

Thank you!

Muchas gracias 👍

[@LarryReynolds591]

game changer. thank you

[@larrycumba2741]

If you’re like me and have trouble with the corners meeting nicely, take the guide off and use the groover like a scribe. That might give you more control in that area.

[@edwardwalton-oh4ub]

Need more tips would be nice

[@rasdlsify]

This might be a dumb question but, my stitch groover is dull and won’t cut worth a darn. It has the guide and the tiny hole that cuts must be dull. I only used it a few times. Looks just like the one you used but who knows what the brand or quality is. Thanks

[@tv4nobs]

Hi, is there any difference between a groove and crease? I've noticed that grooves are usually for stitches while creases are more decorative

[@kimberlytaylor5886]

Thank you for this video. I haven’t done leather working in ages. Honestly couldn’t remember what this was for 🫤

[@dannymarkgraf34]

I get a groove, but i do not get a strip out like you are. What am i doing wrong? I have it angled, decent pressure, straight groove, but no little strip removed.

[@seewaage]

Anyone know what to do when the groover fills with leather and won't allow any cutting? That little hole has gotten jammed with leather.

[@sheilas.6170]

What types of leather can you use the Groover on?

[@calex8807]

Thank you, now I know what I’ve been doing wrong.

[@freaktose]

Mine doesn't cut at all, so something's wrong with it. I certainly don't get a curl of leather coming up. Barely making a mark. Into the trash it goes.

[@tylerguild489]

Make sure you don’t have it backwards.

[@WingsOfWonder-v4t]

How about of leather is thin

[@harrymclaughlin955]

How does one sharpen this tool Joe? That's a mighty tiny hole there.

[@conniedarling1939]

Mine has never worked decently even though it has only been used a couple times.
