Thanks Sylvia. Actually, I thought about making my own awl with a harness needle and then I found out there is actually a 1/32" awl for hobbist. It looks promising. Plus, it's straight 1/32". It ought to make some beautiful round holes that are tight and will close great. I'm going tomorrow to go have a look at them. Sure thing Cheryl. Thanks.

It looks more like a straight stitch. I know the guy who made these and he machine sews everything. I am now starting to make these, but I want to hand sew everything. I might just give it a try on some scrap and see how it turns out. I'll let you know.

Cheryl, I took a pic of the stitch my mocassins have. It's an overlapped seam that has been skived. These were done on a machine ,but the ones I am making I want to hand sew. I guess my original question should have been, How do I get this type of stitch with hand stitching? LOL

Thanks Cheryl. That's what I was thinking , but I wanted to make sure. One the wallet the stitching does not have an angle or so it seems. Is it possible to do a straight line saddle stitch using straight awl?

Hello good folks out there. Got a question for you. I'm posting a photo of what I am trying to accomplish, but with everything on saddle stitching, the thread line seems much thicker and bulky. I'm looking to create the sewn line on the wallet in the picture. It's a picture I got from Back Room Leather It's tight and small. This is for hand stitching custom fitted mocassins. Any help would be greatly appreciated
