Stitching Simulator
Adjust leather, thread and pitch to see how a hand saddle stitch behaves before you cut.
The stitching simulator lets you change leather thickness, thread diameter, stitch pitch and stitch style, then see how the seam behaves. It estimates thread length with allowance, stitch count, stitching time and an evenness score, so you can compare setups before committing to leather.
Adjust leather, thread and pitch to see how a hand saddle stitch behaves before you cut. This is the 2D reference diagram. Every control in the panel still updates the numbers.

What you are looking at
This is an educational simulation only; real work must follow the tool manufacturer instructions and workshop safety rules.
The model is built from parametric geometry rather than a photographed object, which is why it responds instantly when you move a control. Distances are exaggerated so that a 2 mm change is visible on screen.
Working through the steps
- Punch
- Thread
- Stitch
- Tension
Each step lights up as the model reaches it. Reset returns every control and the camera to where you started.
