Stetson912 Report post Posted September 28, 2017 How/what did you(use) to stitch it? Looks a lot better on the back than the one I'm doing. But I'm using an awl which is fairly new to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Egyptian blue is maybe even better so I have to buy some :-D Thank you for such a good feedback. I really appreciate it :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stetson912 Report post Posted September 29, 2017 Just a pricking iron? Or do you mean stitching chisel? To punch all the way through? I marked the front of my belt with a pricking iron. But that's just to mark the holes, then I actually make the hole with the awl. I think I'm just not practiced with an awl haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
