I used a 3-4 oz veg-tan leather, I pre-oiled my leather with 2 coats of neatsfoots oil, then used my airbrush to apply a coat of medium brown dye. Once dry you are ready to put in your machine.

First take your thread and cut a piece about 25" long. 

Then thread both ends with your needles. 

I like to start at the bottom end. Loop the last hole across twice as shown in the photo.

Now take your top needle and insert it in between the leather edge and run it downward into the next hole, so you will be going at a angle.

Then take your bottom needle and insert it into in between going up to the next hole. Give it a tight little snug and repeat the stitching all the way up.

• Note, make sure you repeat the stitch the exact same way each and every time or your stitch will come out crooked.

When you get to the top, do a double stitch across as you did on the bottom and burn off your tips.

Now using the lighter in between, do the exact same stitch going up while holding the lighter inside. Make sure you do a snug stitch, don't pull too tight.

After you are done you can apply a thin coat of conditoner and you are ready to use. Enjoy.
