1. Measure where to cut the length of the leather cover with your bit placed in the center. Cut the right length.
2. Measure where to cut the width by wrapping the leather cover around the bit. Cut the right width.
3. Attach needles to both sides of the thread.
4. Time to start sewing. Start sewing the thread 2 times in a loop. Always make sure that the stitching points to the outside of the mouth and not against the mouthcorners.
5. Pull tight. Then continue sewing by crossing the thread over each other, through the
holes. Like a shoelace. Make sure to tighten.
6. Pull tight through the whole bit. At the end, tie a loop with each end of the thread and secure it with a knot. Cut off the access thread.
7. Carefully burn the ends of the thread with a lighter.
Now you have the perfect, homemade leather bit!
Fagers leather is vegetable tanned; no harmful chemicals or artificial colors are used.
If the leather gets dry, we recommend soaking it in food-grade paraffin oil.
Make sure that the stitching points to the outside of the mouth and not against the mouthcorners.
