I'm kind of a newbie to leatherworking...
I am currently using waxed braided cord, regular stitching needles, and I have both a chisel punch and a round hole punch, but can't figure out which one to use.
When I use the chisel punch the sewing looks cleaner, but it's hard to get the needle through the second time. I'm also having issues with the knots that I tie when I finish stitching coming loose(i tied a double knot).
I don't really know if I'm doing this right or not! someone please correct me/give me tips.
