View source for Edge/flesh stitch

The '''edge/flesh stitch''' passes from the [[flesh]] side of a piece of [[leather]] out the side of one edge of the same piece of leather. 

This is used in [[shoe]]making on [[sole]]s when attaching them to the upper and/or [[rand]] from the mid-[[12th century]] until the mid [[14th century]] and also for butting two pieces to leather together. The upper could also sometimes have edge/flesh stitching, but were uncommon.
