Stitching Help Required

[Tree Reaper]

Terry;

You nailed the problem with it sticking.

I have a sewing awl needle in there and it's straight, that's why there's drag drawing the needle out.

I have another stitching awl on the way with spare blades so I'll pop one in when they arrive.

I'm sure that will work.

Making a better deck for the press today, looking forward to trying it on a project.

Thanks Terry!

Kevin,

Are you punching holes with a needle or an awl? I am using an awl blade, and it sticks a little, but I just hold my finger on the leather and it comes right out.. Can't really figure out why it is sticking so bad for you.
