How to Attach Kid Leather

I have to admit I've never been tempted to attach kid leather to any of my needlepoint, but in case I ever have the urge (or you do), this article by Anna Scott about her current goldwork design will help me understand how to go about it.  She makes it took easy, although it appears being careful and patient is very useful.

A Leather "Jacket" for Your Needlepoint

Kreinik's blog has a new article up, this one on how to use their kid leather on your needlepoint projects.  I thought it was fascinating to read, plus there are photos of the varieties of kid leather available.  I had no idea you could get copper!  I also never would have though to attach leather to my stitching using archival quality double-sided tape.  Very clever folks at Kreinik!
