Any Way To Fix An Accidental Impression?

[StrigaMort]

Hi guys,

I was just using my overstitcher to mark my stitch holes and I accidentally ran over one extra impression. Is there any way to fix this outside of totally modifying the design? I was so careful, I guess these things just happen sometimes.

.....now you know why many of us save up for pricking irons.

With thinner leather, I can turn it over and use a modeling tool to press it out. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. LTC has the best answer in my opintion.

How I remember doing the corners with the overstitch is to manually do the last 2 or 3 stitches by pressing down the same way as a pricking iron.

Try casing the leather and using a modeling spoon to lightly rub the mark away. Practice on a scrap first. IT can be done. I once removed an entire stamp that was crooked and then was able to restamp it.

Thank you! I'm going to try exactly that. I'll let you know how it turns out.

The leather is 8/9oz. I have no idea how I screwed up so badly. I'm usually very good about that. It's well done (not light), so I think I must have done it on purpose thinking it was correct. Tunnel vision and all that.
