Stitching pony
Definition
The stitching pony is an essential tool for anyone who does hand-stitching on leather. This tool, also known as a leather sewing clamp or saddler's clamp, allows you to hold the material firmly in place, freeing both hands to work with precision. Made from sturdy wood, the stitching pony offers stability and strength, making it ideal for saddle stitching. Its importance within the community of strap enthusiasts is considerable, as it allows for uniform, high-quality stitching, directly influencing the choice of materials and techniques used. For those looking for custom straps, the stitching pony is an indispensable companion. Want to feel the grain on your wrist?

Frequently asked questions
Is it necessary?
For professional saddle stitching, it's practically indispensable. It allows a level of control and stitch quality unattainable when stitching freehand.
How does it work?
It's clamped between your legs or rested on a table. The jaws, often lined with leather so as not to mark the piece, close by means of a screw or knob.
What's the difference from a "stitching horse"?
The "stitching horse" is the larger version, which the craftsman sits astride. The "pony" is the smaller version, for the table or to hold between the knees.
The next step
The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
