Two rows, double the fun

Posted on November 26, 2014 by customboots

This is only the second time I’ve had to do a sole with two rows of stitching and I’ve been worrying about it since I took the order. But it’s done and it looks great!

Cooperative machine, ha! It started breaking and fraying the thread as soon as I started, so I had to stop, replace the needle and awl, and retime it. Only then did the machine decide I’d suffered enough and begin cooperating.
