DavidL Report post Posted January 10, 2014 My vergez blanchard 4 prong pricking iron at 9spi might have a small problem. The prongs on the outside are different sized (slightly thicker) than the middle prongs. My options are to sharpen the prongs slightly - last resort or to to find a way to keep the marks on the leather to be consistent because every couple marks the hole is slightly larger and some stitches look off. p.s I prick the marks on the leather till it almost through the back and finish off with an awl.

Basically Bob Report post Posted January 11, 2014 I would work on the teeth myself and if unsuccesful would purchase a new one. I struggled with a used, well worn pricking iron and was totally discouraged. I finally bit the bullet and purchased a couple of new irons from Abbey England ... although it cost me a few bucks and it hurt at the time, it made a huge difference in my stitching and I am extremely happy. Abbey has excellent service to Canada and I found them to be extremely helpful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
