I’ve always cut the end of thread on an angle with a pair of finishing thread snips or a good pair of scissors,as it makes a pin point on the end of thread which makes it a lot more easier to thread the needle. I find that works so much easier on all types threads. Definitely wax any unwaxed thread.

I've been down a rabbit hole on leathercrafting videos and this is the by far the best basic tips and tricks video I've seen yet. I love that you went all the way down to the nitty gritty and the examples you created with the different colored threads are super clear. SUPERHELPFUL! Thank you.

Thanks for the tips. For threading the needle, I cut the tip of the thread at an angle and then flatten it with a hammer tap or the end of my awl. To measure how much thread to use, I measure the length that I need to stitch, then multiply by 8.5.

@@JHLeather Thanks. I failed to mention that the X8.5 is for thick leather for holsters and knife sheaths. Thin leather for a wallet or something you could go shorter. But it's better to have the thread too long than to run out a few inches from the end. LOL!

You definitely solved two issues I’ve had in the past and maybe even three. Putting the needle on the thread is something I’m gonna try for sure.

You definitely solved two issues I’ve had in the past and maybe even three. Putting the needle on the thread is something I’m gonna try for sure. I also didn’t realize that on a bigger project I’ve been using really long thread and I didn’t know you could use two or three links and and one length with a double back stitch and then just start another one. I always thought you had to have the back stitching at the beginning and end of your stitch line.

Sometimes if I am having difficulty threading the needle I will cut the thread on 45 degree angle. Also keeping your thread snips sharp helps.

My trick to avoid going through the thread with the needle was to round the tips of the needles making them quite blunt. They just slide over the thread.

Nice video Jo. One question, whats the advantage of using linen and wax it for waterproofing, over already waxed polyester? I never used linen, just polyester thread. Thanks

0:33 for flattening waxed thread, I use the butt of my knife and press the thread against the table - consistently flat and easy to thread.

Gee, Someone gave me the "Richard the Lion farted" nickname. Too bad they didn't see my stitching, then I suppose I'd be going by "weird stitch". There is ALWAYS one of those pesky things. Thank you for the tips, I always learn something.
