We have been told that hand stitched leather wares are always stronger and more durable. Here we discuss more about it; why hand stitching.
Here we discuss more about the differences of hand stitching and lock stitch (machine sewing).
Hand Stitching and Machine Sewing
1. Hand Stitch
Hand stitching is using a single thread and passes on both sides of the material for the entire length of the stitch. Using a single threads and needles at the either end, one needle passes through from one side, and the other one through the same hole from the opposite side.
2. Lock Stitch (Machine Sew)
Sewing machine uses two separate spools of threads, one from the top and one from beneath. This making one thread running along the top and another one along the bottom, which LOCK each other at the point where the needle pierces the material along the line of the stitching.
A product stitched by hand is technically stronger and more durable than machine sewing.
