Cross Stitch?

[The Doctor]

I just saw a lacing stitch and was told it's called a "cross stitch," and I'd like to learn how to do it. It was done on two overlapped pieces of leather with two rows of holes, side-by-side on both pieces of leather, with the holes aligned along the edge of the pieces. Does anyone know of a description of this kind of lacing? Thank you.

I wish I had a pic of it, but I didn't think to take one. The fact is, I found this forum while doing a google search for the stitch. Next time I go to the leather shop, I'll check through the books there.

"The Art and Craft of Leather" published by Barron's shows this stitch. It is similar to the Applique Lacing stitch in the Tandy book.
