    So glad to have found you after a number of bum steers! Thanks for these super clear instructions without which my drivers seat seam split would not look as "invisible" as it does now. A four inch split took me about 60 minutes because I had the tools mentioned at hand. And I was able to thread the pigtail into the needle with the tail and then pull both of them under the seam. Thanks for taking the time out to do this and for having the video and audio tech to paint the picture. You're an ace! God bless.

    Thank you so much for posting this! My leather couch was coming apart in several places, and you saved me at least $85 (that's what I was quoted for two small tears and one big one....but once I got going I found several other spots coming apart so I'm sure the total would have been much higher). It took me 5+ hours and would have taken a pro a third of that time but I'm so glad I was able to DIY it for about $4 worth of materials. Very grateful for your expertise!

    Wow this is great, it taught me a lot! Now for two tips to make it even better/ even less traceable: #1- You can take an electric hair clippers, and glide it over those little free strands, which will probably cut them off. #2- You can find some leather/ vinyl (or even acrylic paint, if you insist on not buying the former), and paint those little strands, along with painting that whole slit/ seem. or #3- Do BOTH, and it will really and fully disappear even up close!

    Going back over the seam again so that the leather has thread on the back side between every stitch hole on each side will keep the gapping to a minimum. Also, instead of trimming the pigtail of the existing thread, wrap it several times around the new thread before pulling it back down under the seam. That way the entire pigtail will be preserved and limit the possibility of the knot coming undone, especially if the knot winds up being two half-hitches instead of a full square knot.
