Members Shorts Posted January 7, 2009 Members Report Posted January 7, 2009 In regard to the slots and the stitch line, a quick trick is to trace your slots on the drawn paper pattern as well as the stitch groove. This gives a rough template of where all your cuts and lines will be before you even touch the leather. Of course, things will slightly change due to the cutting and smoothing the shape of the edges, but you will have a better idea than if you went without. In order to do the stitch grooves, just take your groover and run it over the curves where the slots will sit. It'll make a rub mark on the paper that you can trace with a pencil. You don't have to do this all the way around the paper pattern, just at the critical areas where the slots will sit. Quote
