grommit Report post Posted May 17, 2016 Thank so much, its a challenge. but I'm finding the back of the stitching is poor whilst the inside is ok...I'll get there. ATB Bri Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plinkercases Report post Posted May 17, 2016 I really like the look of this. Thanks. And if you were serious about doing this with one hand then you should be very proud of the results. And if you weren't.. you should still be proud. My only comment about the stitching is that in one close up it appears you may have the angle of your awl wrong in relative to the stitch line. It look perpendicular rather than the "diamond" lines being parallel. See below from Al Stohlman's explanation: If this is the case a correction will help your stitches lay in nicely Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grommit Report post Posted May 18, 2016 Hi all, thank you for the advice. I don't have diamond awl, so guess what I need to perchase! a great explanation I'm really happy. thank you ATB Bri Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
