thanks all for your response, I really appreciate all feedback. I'm using new ORGAN 7x4NW(Yx3LL) that been provided with my cobra 4. I have no issue like this before with same combination. its was stitching nicely. I tried to use #23 and I got stair look stitches which I don't like in long harness straps. you can see in the attached photo an old harness strap I stitched with #24 and #207. thanks again all.

when I did miter joint I stab my awl into beeswax first, it helps reduce the friction... also make sure you have sharp awl. here is a picture of miter joint
