Genuine Leather Strapping Bag Handles
- Use a leather needle or topstitching needle - size 14 or 16 and polyester thread for machine sewing leather onto fabric or canvas.
- Use a heavy-weight polyester thread in the needle and all-purpose polyester thread in the bobbin. This is a great option for machine sewing handles directly to the exterior of projects. Test your tension and adjust before sewing onto your finished project.
- Leather Strap Handles can be hand-sewn to projects using waxed linen, waxed polyester thread or other heavy weight thread. Pre-punch holes with an awl or leather hole punch.
- Handles can also be attached to projects by using rivets.
