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.

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.
