Working with hair on hide
« on: January 06, 2015, 06:31:13 PM »
Im preparing to make a bag with a bison flap. The bison is hair on and will be lined with red trade wool. When seaming and edging this stuff do i clip the fur along the sewing area or just sew right through it?

Never underestimate the sheer destructive power of a minimally skilled, but highly motivated man with tools.

In the past I would sew at an angle through the hide. coming out at the edge
of it below the hair. If you sew through it the hair will bunch up and look bad.
