Why Hand Stitching Lasts Longer

This kit uses the saddle stitch – two needles and one thread. Unlike machine stitching, which uses a single thread that can unravel if it breaks, the saddle stitch creates a secure, interlocking seam. If one stitch wears out, the rest of the seam stays intact. That is why hand-stitched leather goods are known to last for decades.
