Then used it for a punch. I prefer flat punch holes for lace. As apposed to round holes for flat lace. btw, the holster is what the customer wanted. He brought me a photo and I duplicated it. With minor changes so as not to be an actual copy. Joel Thanks, Currently in Chatsworth CA but when I get home I'll test cutting 2mm x 1 mm rectangles at 1mm. I have to punch around 90 running inches so a single blade isn't going to cut it (no pun intended) Bob Edited January 30, 2023 by BDAZ Quote

All my lacing chisels leave gaps between stitches. Are there any punches for 1/8" lace that could produce these results. I suppose I could hand punch but that would be really time consuming and not in the budget. I have the possibility of either marking punch holes or even cutting them with my laser, which I will use to "trace" the pattern on the leather but again, a lot of extra work when it seems the right punch may do the trick? Thanks! Bob then i cant help you much i can do this stitch with mine..

Members Docado Posted January 30, 2023 Members Report Posted January 30, 2023 Deeter Custom Saddlery makes a buckstitch lacing needle that fits in a cobra 3/4 sewing machine. They also have a video on how to get it set up in machine. Others also make similar needle. No affiliation with any of manufacturers. Quote
