I don't believe a dremel tool will run with rpms this slow,

I think what he means is that with double loop lacing one side of the project will always have the lace at an angle as it goes into the hole and the other side doesn't angle but goes straight into the hole. As a newbie to leathercrafting, I idid the same thing on a project without realizing that double loop lacing will do this. I had the straight side facing out which I didn't think looked very good. Mexican basketweave does not have this problem (feature).

Oh, I forgot. There is also a Facebook page for North Houston Leather guild. http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/217229138370857/

I also made a stiching pony this weekend and used Tanners Bond Craftsman Contact Cement. I applied it to the leather and the wood then let it dry tacky. Pressed the leather onto the wood and it worked great. Be shure the leather is the position you want cause it will stick fast and won't be easy to re-postion if you get it wrong.
