Quote:It's actually to sew several layers of felt and linen, not leather...Either way, try using what's called a glover's needle. They're very sharp, and have a triangular blade that will cut its way through felt, layers of cloth, leather, and yes, your finger! Available in several sizes, for anything from thin leather to belt leather, these are my needle of choice when sewing anything that's thick or resistant to the ordinary round needles.
There is a law about their use, however: when you pierce your finger, you must mark your project somewhere with a drop of your own blood. Don't know why, it's just the law. :wink: :lol: Might as well be, because if you stick yourself, you're probably touching the fabric anyway. When people ask "What's that brown spot?" just tell them you were obeying the Glover's First Law, and look very intelligent and Gnostic. :roll:
