Ok here goes. I’m trying to leather lace the edge of an arrow quiver. I’ve seen some quivers that have been sewn together not to my liking. As for the 4-1 ratio the first hole is one where you start the lace you count 4 holes I put the lace through on the opposite side. I then go back to hole 2 and so on. I know I might be telling my grandmother how to suck eggs and I apologize. Does this make sense

Is it better to use a 6-1 edging than a 4-1. I use a 2mm pricking iron and a 3mm wide lace
