Alleluia! Finally, there is a video I can see step by step without the hand covering the tutorial :) thanks so much! I'm going to fix my car seat now.
The only video that addressed the problem I had: open seam of a leather wristlet. Thanks so much for this video!!
This has been very helpful. Total cost for needle and thick thread was £3.55 and repair done in less than 30 minutes.
Excellent,I started wrking in the business in '72 and didn't think anyone still did things the right way.Definitley a lost art,Thank you,you might have known my father Mitch

After watching many vids on how to re stich my black leather seat I tried black plastic zap straps. I used about half of the bag that cost me 99 cents. It not as good as shown here but its pretty darn good and inexpensive. Very easy too. You may know then as zip straps.
Very nice work and tutorial...
You, my kind sir, are my hero. You have provided a clear and concise primer in leather repair. Now, if my repair can only last through my last teenager in the house. thank you for your tutorial.
Excellent example of a how to video, great pace and good level of detail.
Once you get used to the "robot voice" it is pretty informative. The close ups are well done.
This is one of the clearest DYS videos I have seen, very very useful infi and even entertaining.

THANK YOU!!! Your video was so clear and helpful! i repaired our armchair and my Husband is SO proud :)
Thank you so very much. My couch is fixed...learned so much...
Thanks for this video! I have a leather jacket that is needing some repair work on the sleeve and this completely explains and shows what to do! Again, thanks so very much.
Thank You! Very informative!
Wow loud and clear, thank u
Excellent video. Very well paced and with the right amount of detail and explanation. Thanks.
Why not use the double hidden stitch? Its a cleaner looking repair. Nylon thread is better than cotton because it does not fray like cotton does. Use a regulator to make the hole bigger for threading. I used all of the things mentioned above with great results. I used to repair leather for a living.
Perfect video with very clear instructions! Thanks a lot!!!
What a great video! I am so glad I found you. I repair leather handbags, and your video helped a lot!!! Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Thank you kind sir!
perfect! thank you for helping me fix my sofa neatly!!
Thanks for sharing... I had to repair my leather car seat and your instructions for the top stitching helped me get a professional finish. Forward two, back one... Cheers...
Thank you for your detailed and quality tutorial! I've recommended it to a number of students :-)

This guy is a boss.
Thanks, Grandpa excellent video.
Very useful and helpful. thank you.
very good
Excellent video.
Very helpful in fixing my leather couch that I just broke the seam on
Thanks, helped me- im a novice sewer
Sir, Thank you.
Great video
I use two needles and loop the threads in the middle like a regular machine stitch would. Makes a nicer looking seam. But this is a decent fix as well.
what good video mate thanks for good informations
great vid - how would you start the first stitch? I'm wanting to sew a large stitch on my car's leather seat
This is the basic same stitch I learned in Quilting & sewing as the ladder stitch, but done with a straight needle.

Is there a special thread normally used on leather, or will normal cotton thread be strong enough?
Fanstastic just what i need to fix our couch!!!
Nice one doc
very helpful
Damm you are a Master . Thanks .
very good video thank you
This is my New Years day 2017 project today - to replace the pockets of my beloved leather jacket.I don't understand how to sew through the leather because I am not removing the lining of the jacket. The inner lining of the jacket is intact - just the pockets are gone.
Great. I have just ripped the seam of my leather settee. What is the needle called? Thanks for the upload
Can you use polyester thread to hold leather together?
gracias
What type of needles and thread are you using and where do you get them?
I would do the same process, thank so lot
Огромное спасибо!!
Just saved my bacon, house party parents away sofa got ripped but thankfully for this video saved me money. Do you have any idea of how I would repair an actual rip in the leather? Thanks
Where do you get those curved needles and what are they called? Thanks.
haven't done my own car top since i was 25 years old or so. hope i can remember what a old guy that OWN A CAR UPHOLSTERY. TEACHED ME TO DO. ITS' EASIER WHEN YOU CAN DO A WHOLE CUT. AND NO STITCH WORK. I'M 42 NOW
fantastic tutorial. i applaud your skill.
beautiful vid hope you're still alive
Nice imma fix my leather seats now.
Pardon me, but I'm confused. I understand the basics of what you're saying regarding top stitching, but it's unclear to me if you're sewing the zipper cloth to the underside of the leather or not. Is sewing the zipper back to the underside of your leather there your goal? I ask because it looks like the zipper's fabric wasn't sewn through, but perhaps I visually missed something. I have "naugahyde" seat cushion on a recliner that I need to sew the top front of the cushion to the front part that wraps around the entire cushion. I figured that I'd just take the foam out of the seat cushion if necessary, but for now I wanted to find a curved needle with some matching colored nylon thread and see if that would work without fiddling with the foam cushion inside. If you have any thoughts on this, I'd welcome it as I'm far from an accomplished sewer.
This is the best video I have ever seen on You Tube that shows how to duplicate existing stitches. Thank you for the information.. I have some questions. We have had no car to drive for 3 years and someone recently donated us a 97 Chevy Suburban with leather and cloth seats. The drivers seat has several holes in it, including one massive hole on the bottom part of the seat where towards the door. After a ton of research looking for a replacement seat cover, I discovered that this was custom work by a company long out of business. The hole gets much worse each time I use the truck and the foam in the hole is crumbling away. A repair shop wanted $450 to replace the leather, but I believe I can do it myself. Do you have a video that show how to replace a section of a seat cover. I had planned on removing the seat, and then the cover from the seat. I was then going to remove the stitches holding on the damaged leather, and use the old leather piece as a pattern make a new piece of leather with stitch holes in the same locations. I am very patient and can follow instructions very well. Do you have a video showing how to do this? Also, where should I go to get matching leather? Thank you. God bless. James
My leather chair doesn't have any preexisting holes to work from. Any recommendations?

Leather is not fabric, why are you using cloth thread instead of nylon, cloth thread frays and nylon does not.
Sound is very bad.
Could you please redo this video? The sound is not good. Sounds as if you are in the other room. I only catch a word here and there.

This is a basic ladder stitch, and is a very poor repair. This is not a correct way to sew leather.
