You will see no stitching showing through the leather with the siouw or squaw lazy stitch.Some is showing through using the applique stitch or in line stitch in the center of the rosette which is normal.The bands will become too pinched to lazy stitch clear to the center of rosette.The rest is siouw lazy stitched.The siouw lazy stitch is preferred by me brcause it is faster for me to do.
2 ways of doing rosettes applique or lazy stitched.Both type stitched rosettes take more advanced experience.
An example of an appliqued stitched rosette.Beads are wrapped in a circle and stitched down every 3 to 4 beads going through the leather.It will never show because the item is sewn onto a garment such as this buffalo mounty styled hat.
A smaller spaced stitch is needed on the inner circle than the outer circle using the siouw lazy stitch.All lines of bands need to point to the center.Stitches showing through in center of rosette here.
Square projects need the same length stitch on each end of the bands.Easier to do.
Applique stitching can be done not going through too.This takes a lot of back stitching never going through.
It can be done many ways.It's all up to choice/technique/and experience.
I think one of those books show different types of edging also.One shown here on this hooped brain tan piece and the front edge of the bill on the buffalo hat which is a wrapped edge technique.
