An ancient technique, also known as saddle stitching, is an art-form that starts with hand punching every hole on the pieces to be stitched together. It involves a fine movement of the needle and a consistent handle of the mordaza to achieve a smooth stitch that looks clean on both sides. A hand stitch is of superior quality and strength, it'll will never fall apart even if one stitch breaks, it's not like machine stitches in that way. The technique has a inherent beauty, which can only be reached through hard work and dedication, giving as result a master piece.
