ABSTRACT:
A device for tensioning leather and leather-like materials prior to stitching includes a pallet and a pair of base strips mounted on the pallet in spaced-apart relationship. Each of the base strips has an inner edge for receiving an outer opposing edge of the material to be stitched. Pivoting bars mounted on each of the base strips by toggle mechanisms have pins on the underside thereof which pierce the material edges and are received in corresponding holes located in the base strips. One edge of the material is placed along the inner edge of one of the base strips and clamped in place by one of the pivoting bars. The opposing edge of the material to be stitched is then placed along the inner edge of the other base strip and the other pivoting bar is brought into longitudinal alignment with the base strip, thereby clamping and tensioning the material prior to stitching.
