SmallPhoneCase6BackSide

It looks like you have a substantial stitching groove on the front side, I would suggest doing the same thing on the back to help even it out.

Pg043,

Thanks for that, but there is no stitch groove on this particular item. I did groove one of the items I stitched, and you are right, it does force the thread into a nice straight line. I've been practicing, some of my stitching is getting better, but I do still struggle with getting a perfect stitch on the reverse side. I am trying to avoid using grooves, this helps me to see my errors and try to improve. Also, I think grooving weakens the leather a bit.

I believe most of my error is in the use of the awl, although on this particular item, I stitched before I owned an awl, and so the error was in my needle and thread technique. I may try to restitch this item and see how it turns out now that I have had some practice.
