How do you attach kilt straps?

Look at it this way....you'll be hand-sewing it.

I use a leather punch and punch about 6 holes in the strap, at the base. I then thread a large needle with carpet thread, tne taking care that the stitches don't show through, but yet I get thrad through as many layers of material as I can, just hand-sew the thing on there. It takes about 20 minutes per strap.

There isn't any way to machine-sew them?

Yes, you can machine sew leather IF it isnt too thick and you use a brand new HEAVY needle. I always use Alan H's technique when attaching leather straps, especially if I'm using a folded piece to hold the buckles on. Most home machines can't do two thicknesses of leather.
