如果您的缝纫机可以舒适地缝制浓密的织物，则可以缝制大多数服装重量皮革。但是，这种舒适的情况存在一些问题 - 一方面，您的皮革对于机器来说很可能太厚了。它可能会使您跳过，缝制或更糟的是在普通家庭缝纫机的压脚下，更不用说向前移动并缝制皮革接缝了。
下一个问题是，缝纫机给出的普通锁紧缝合与将皮革连接在一起有些弱。当您在任何地方切一个锁定针迹时，它会将其拆开至一定距离。而手动缝制针迹非常坚固，可以将皮革牢固地保持一段时间。
手工缝制皮革是一个挑战。由于皮革的厚度，缝制皮革零件将接缝针刺缝在一起的工作涉及更大的工作。与简单的面料相比，这种时间总是花费的时间。但是皮革具有无与伦比的魅力，这就是为什么我们大多数人更喜欢这种材料而不是其他任何材料的原因。
Here are some simple steps to sewing leather by hand
如何手动针迹皮革
第1步Gather the supplies
Leather crafting is a very satisfying hobby that involves tools that may be very elaborate and expensive. But you can come up with some good leather work with the minimum basic tools too.
Read this post on the 30best hand sewing tools for leather here， 更多细节。
- 锋利的旋转刀或真正锋利，坚固的精确刀。
- 一种marking tool（特殊的皮革标记工具，形状像叉子或超缝轮） - 在皮革上均匀且相同距离标记缝线孔。您将需要一个标记工具，该工具将为您提供标记，并在针迹之间提供确切的距离。该数字将在工具上指示为每英寸5针。
- 锥子制作（预先打击）缝制的孔。
- 直皮革针（2个数字）You can use regular sewing needles if you are making holes before sewing. Otherwise you can use the leather needles with sharp triangular points at the tips for penetrating the leather.
- 打蜡的亚麻线is the best for handstitching leather. Alternatives are thick cotton thread which you wax at home (Strengthen the cotton thread by passing through beeswax) or pre-waxed cotton cord. But linen thread is recommended by all experts.
- 蜂蜡- 打蜡延长了线的寿命。它还可以防止缝制时线的磨损。
- 一种leather clamp在缝制时休息皮革 - 这是可选的，但非常建议您轻松缝制。

Step 2 Prepare the needle and thread
Measure the area to be sewn. Multiply by 3. This is how much thread you should take on each of your needle; but make sure that the length is no more than 24 inches because it becomes difficult to manage longer than that.
您可以用蜂蜡擦线，以使您的线程投诉和缝线有益。
将您的2针与线程的每一端进行线程。如下图所示，您不仅可以通过针孔插入螺纹穿过针孔。将其抬起，您将将螺纹的边缘锚定在针头附近。没有滑倒。只有用薄针刺才有可能。
Step 3 Prepare the leather
Thick leather needs to be prepared for sewing. If it is very thick you may even have to gouge channels to facilitate sewing. This will lessen the thickness of your leather layers. There are special chiseling tools or you can use the exacto knife to make these.
Mark the holes for stitching : It is a good idea to mark evenly spaced markings on the stitching line to make the stitches. You can use the stitching wheel to make uniform marks through which you can carry your needles.
在这些标记上，您可以进一步制造孔 - 但是这些是在缝制皮革时制成的。制作每个针迹后，您可以在标记的标记的帮助下借助锥子。确保您正在制作统一的孔，这将足以携带针头 - 仅此而已。
步骤4开始缝制
Best hand sewing stitch for leather is a Saddle stitch. You can also make close whipping stitches.
You need clean tight stitches which are evenly made.

Saddle stitch

第1步
On your stitching line make the first hole with a sharp awl.Insert needle number 1 through the hole.
It will look like this.
第2步
Now make the next hole. Bring the first needle (Needle A) through this second hole to the front side
步骤3
Now take the second needle (Needle B) through the same hole to the back side.
( here you will be inserting both your needles through the same hole, one going to the front and the other going to the back – this actions is repeated to make the saddle stitches)
当您拧紧针迹时，制成了一个马鞍针。
第4步
立即制造第三个洞。将针A通过这个孔向后。
步骤5
将针B通过同一孔将其带到前面
继续以这种方式制作针迹。
Never pull the thread very tightly after a stitch is made. You will distort the leather or worse tear. But you have to pull enough to make the stitch firm.
At the end of the stitches remember to back stitch to the previous hole, make a knot and cut the thread closely. You can use a soft hammer to make the stitches smooth.
Whipping stitch
这是在皮革的右侧制成的。皮革层的边缘使用鞭打针迹连接在一起。
在皮革上使用弯曲针头
This needle is used in places where you can sew with straight needles – when joining curved leather pieces. For eg labels for a tin. The curved edges can only be sewn using these curved needles.
Some very thick leather can be joined together using rivets. These are inserted after making suitable holes with a hole puncher and then the two sides of the rivets are joined together – this is a very sturdy joining method for the thick leather seams.
