Why Hand Stitching is Better

This kit uses the saddle stitch technique, which is a traditional hand-stitching method. Unlike machine stitching, saddle stitching uses two needles and a single thread that interlaces through each hole. This creates a stronger, more durable seam that is less likely to unravel over time. Hand-stitched seams are also easier to repair, making your handmade bag last for years.
