tanglefoot

well thank you gentlemen i appreciate the help

I can adjust to that wont be a problem, I guess the real question is how to i keep the holes in like around the narrow part so the braid stays staright all the way around? do you recommend holes or slits? thank you

So im trying to lay out my lacing holes before i transfer everything to leather. I found a thread once that explained how or had pictures i cant remember which. So attached is a picture of my seat pattern, the black pen line is my cut line the pencil line is/ might be my lacing line, I'm using 1/8" lace wanted to do a Mexican round braid. the problem i have been running into is how far apart/close together do i move the holes when going around a curve?

I was wondering the great internet looking for ideas on how to finish my motorcycle seat and ran across this picture on Hardluck leather. I'm not sure how to achieve the look. thank you in advance.
