Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
Couple of questions though.

1. Do you usually add trim allowance to your projects? I'm afraid I couldn't line up two pieces covered in glue perfectly from the first try (don't laugh).

2. What's the basic approach to do the measurement? I mean if a business card has size X*Y mm, if I'll create a pocket of the same size between stitching lines it probably wouldn't fit at the end (because of the card thickness, leather thickness issues).
What's the general rule of thumb here?
What amount of "ease" should one add to the original size of the object?

Thanks for the time reading and probably answering!

For stich lines I recommend selecting the outline Object -> Path -> Offset Path then with the direct select tool remove certain edges and bring down the corners.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely have to try that 👊🏼

You can create a stitch line more easily when you select your path at the bottom and you to edit-> path -> offset path. Fill in -4 mm as a value and hit enter. This will offset your line 4mm inwards and the rounded corners will also be perfectly scaled in proportion. Give it a try, it will make your workflow quicker and easier. Cheers. Love your videos by the way! Great work

That is one of the first things I notched in the video. Also noticed there are so many ways to do the same task. I appreciate the different perspectives and tool usage. Always get to learn something.

Little tips for Illustrator.
1- When you have the rectangle tool selected, just click on or off the artboard then a window will pop up for you to input your desired dimensions!
2- When both shapes are selected for an alignment, click on the shape you want the other shape to be aligned to. This shape will stay where you want it to be while the other will get aligned!
3- The shape builder tool lets you substract an area by holding alt/opt and dragging your cursor through the shapes. Without alt/opt, it will combine them!
4- With a shape selected, hold ctrl/command to grab and move said shape by an anchor (vertices) to have a more precise positioning

Great tutorial. Just a tip: when you do stitches, you can try the next menu comand: Object -> Path -> Offset Path and enter a negative value "-4mm". It works great even with complicated designs and saves you some time.

Cris Anderson

2y↑2

I was going to mention that. Also...he should leave the stroke between the stitch marks, and keep them at 1mm. The reason is if he engraves it, and burns the dashes through...he'll have an inset to lay his stitching into.

James Lawrence

exactly. was literally about to comment on this video about that

Quick tip, you can move the zero point of the rulers by dragging the top left corner where the 2 rulers meet to wherever you like! that sets the new 0 ;) everything left to it or above it will be registered as minus

Cool vid, should use offset path for your stitch line. Set to -4 or -5 then use the [C]ut tool to remove the top line. Does all the radius and alignment change for you 👍

Little King Goods

3y↑1

Thanks!

Farhod Naimov

Hey, nice video. There is an easier way to create a stitch line out of your shape. Copy your shape, offset path (-4mm in your case), and only THEN delete extra part. Then you might need little adjustments, sometimes you don`t need even them :)

Nils Kokemohr

1y↑7

Hey - I was thinking, why not use Object->Path->Offset to create the stitchline? works well for me, and is easier with more complex forms.

Also, I have made a habit of not “subtracting” any holes from shapes, instead I just group them together. It makes later modifications easier, and the laser will just cut where the lines are either way.

Dave VanderWekke

Offset is the correct way. He is doing it the hard way.

Can you try made this pattern on iPad ? Because I have problem with rounding buttom corners. When I select them and tap 10 mm in transform section, all the time it’s change on 3.532. Why ???

da5idt

3y↑2

One thing I just learned working with my glowforge and illustrator is that if you don't DESELECT the "Responsive" box under "more options" when you save the SVG file, this can remove the absolute sizing done in illustrator and scale it to something random (for me it was ~75% of the designed size) when you load it into the glowforge. So make sure to turn this off!

Blake Present

Would you consider one more video showing the laser cut out process. Many people would be interested in your laser settings and the min and max of the thickness of leather.

Paul Hart

Tremendously helpful! To the point but with great details. Thank you!

Use the “scale corners” option when resizing a shape to keep the rounded corners in the correct proportion

Mid-Century Maker

Great video mate, I've always wanted to try some leatherwork and you are a big inspiration to start that.

Quick tip as someone who uses Illustrator everyday, you can speed up your stitch hole path creation by selecting your original outer shape then head up to the 'Object > Path > Offset Path' menu and set the offset to -4mm, hit OK and you're good to go! It'll create that new path for you, the inner radius of your corners will look natural and it will automatically align it perfectly in position. You can then just direct select and remove any parts of the original path you don't need stitch holes for too.

Raymond Ellis

I was going to comment this, glad someone else did it before me!

Creating the stitch line would be much easier and faster if you use an offset path (Object>Path>Offset Path).

WillPatagonia

Really useful, specially the stitching lines! Thanks for sharing.

Justin Kenna

Just a friendly tip on the stitch line: Object - Path - Offset path - type your negative distance and boom. Love your videos man

Johnny C.

Yeah, I've seen this done before, much easier. Works in a similar manner in inkscape.

DaveEP

Many thanks for this and so much other content. I have a question about cutting this pattern out on the Glowforge, which I am considering buying. Do you have to make any adjustments for the kerf, or is it "just working" ? Also, with the Glowforge, are you getting charring, and if so, how bad is it and how to you clean it off?

muddylondon

Simmonsstummer

3y↑2

Thank you for this video. I need to understand one thing. Sometimes watching your videos i see you trim the edges even if you used the die to cut the leather. So if you design in illustrator something you have to consider the die cutting line and the one you trim. And after that the line where you will make the holes for stitching. What distances you use for all these lines?

Ramses Moya

Same here - loved the tutorial - informative, but guidance towards measurements to keep leather and cards thickness in mind would be terribly useful :)

Garret

I have seen a video where he talks about it. We do on our internal stuff. Makes things easier. But when using a laser cutter all edges and corners are perfect. pretty easy to line up, sand and burnish.

for stitching lines, u could just use a negative offset instead. saved my time measuring them one by one

Thanks for sharing. One question that I have is on the bigger patterns. How do you usually split them between pages? What I mean is your own way of splitting a pattern into different Letter or A4 pages.

For wallets I use 3-4 ounce or 1.4mm thick leather.

Great tutorial. I'm a little stuck. When I subtract the stitching holes I also end up cutting a line out of the original shape. Any ideas?

Hi Laurie, same thing happens to me. Did you find a fix? Thx

I think that he should make the Arthur Morgan diary one day, or his handbag (don't know the name).
He was a excelent character and the leather in his personal stuff would look awesome in real life since no one has made them

Thanks a lot. Few days ago I searching video like this about stitch line and how to create it. but I create shape as circle1mm and line from center of circle for 4mm. Then I create brush style and apply to rectangles. But your way is more simple.

to make the stitches ---> 1- don't duplicate the shape, just -----> click on object in the top menu bar ----> path --> offset path --> et voila!!!

Hi Ryan. I'm from Alberta and interested in buying the V6 leather wallet. It looks fantastic but I have some questions. Are there any other color available? Why are the final prices in USD at checkout?

Little King Goods

Hey there! You can customize the colours for sure. My prices are in USD because all of the leather we use comes from US tanneries. Makes it easier for us to keep track of pricing. Send us an email for more info. Info@littlekinggoods.com

RYN films

Rad video, thanks!
I'm completely confused now though.
When doing Minus Front for the stitching holes, instead of holes I'm getting half holes with lines between them. It was working for the first few files I made and now I can't figure out what is happening. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Knowing Adobe, I probably did an inadvertent keystroke and checked some random box somewhere. 🤷‍♂️

Theo- Lunke

3y↑1

Hi brother,
I had the same problem.
It's the fill. For the stitch line we need the fill with the red stroke aka no fill.
I hope this helps anyone else having the same problem.

RYN films

@Theo- Lunke Thanks Theo. I found that I have to delete the line created by the offset path before I click minus front. Not too hard, just frustrating when you don't know many ins and outs of Illustrator

This was exactly what I needed. Couldn't figure out the stitch holes :D

I will suggest this video to my glowforge group for people who are still struggling with the program. I hate to show my file because people will always comment, "can I get a copy of your file". They can watch a video like this and within a week they will know enough to do most glowforge projects.

How would you do the stitching marks if you use a pricking iron?

You could just mark them out on the piece when you're working on them with steel calipers and then use the pricking irons how you would normally. Atleast that is how I would do it

Adobe has a nasty habit of making one simple operation take multiple clicks with the mouse. Since Flip and Flop are used all the time, why not just put it in the status bar. Next to the align tools. Really, Select, Transform, Reflect, Vertical, OK. Been that way since Illustrator was invented. Shortcuts do not work for it. Actions might. Other actions, like offset a path. 5 clicks.

Hi great video what version of Addobe Illustrator are you using.

Frank Gatto

Good day sir.... So how is using the laser for cutting? I have a neje 20w and it does great for engraving, good detail etc... but cutting it just burns the leather. Do you experience this with the glowforge? do you have much cleanup like sanding or the like? I also noticed the $500 off coupon toward a glowforce that I might just have to take advantage of. Looking forward to your response. Thank you.
