Leprechaunleather Report post Posted March 19, 2014 Just wondering do you guys so a stitch groove on front and back of a wallet before punching the stitch holes ? or just do one side and do the other side after all holes are punched Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeSnuffie Report post Posted March 19, 2014 I don't do a groove. I'm using thinner and softer leather combined wit braided thread that lays flat anyway. I'm using 1mm and thinner for the shell. If i was using thicker and stiffer leather I suppose I would. I do crease a line where I stitch and use a stitching chisel, though. I do the holes for the front and back of the stitch separately, making the angle of the hole opposite so that the saddle stitch looks great from both sides.
