Cheers, thank you guys. Appreciate the assistance.

That's the issue, the good side is not slanted while back side is when I do the loop.

Evening guys and girls! Assistance required: I'm new to this, having saddle stitching issues. I'm using Tandy 3.5mm diamond chisel. .8 thread. I've done the tutorials, open sea leather clicked, so I thought. I'm doing exactly how it was described, in from back side (my left), the "t" with needles, back through hole, loop over. If I loop, back side is slanted. Front side is flat. No loop, front side is slanted, back side is flat. If I do it like Chuck Dorsett from Weaver, front is slanted, back is flat. I'm having difficulty loading pics, can't figure this out. Layne (Doc325)

Appreciate the advice. I'll get on it!

Greetings, Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is Layne. I'm a former U.S. Paratrooper/combat medic from the 90s, been a paramedic just outside Philly, PA for 25 years. I'm new to leatherwork and have dabbled in blacksmithing. Just here to connect and learn/absorb info. I tried to post a couple recent projects (wrap wallets) but I'm told the pics are too large. Anyhow, nice to meet you guys. If I figure this pic thing out, I'll send some. Happy to connect. Layne (Doc325)
