Rawhide Shield Edging

[Carlton Bach]

Salvete

A question for those of you who have done this already: How do you best fix rawhide edging to your shield? Am I right in thinking it would be sewn on, not nailed like in some medieval examples? what do you use for sewing? Sinew, leather/rawhide strips, linen thread, or something else entirely? Are there tricks to it you have learned the hard way?

Thanks
