Then when you hold the pricking iron to the marks it is running from six oclock to 12 oclock. You make your first set of holes and then move the iron farther away putting the tooth closest to you in the last previous hole and punch again. That way you can see that the iron is standing straight up. From your point of view, the stitchline is running vertically instead of horizontally and you are pricking away from you. Does that make sense? DAve Yes it does and I'll try it next time I handstitch. Sounds like one of small tweaks we learn along the way. Thanks for the tip off!
