What is this called???

I do the quilt design frequently. I like to use a push beveler on the lines after cutting with a swivel knife. It gives more depth to the pattern. Kind of makes it look padded.

I know this is an old thread but I was doing some research and thought it could use some updating.  

As for the layout, Makers Leather Supply has a centering ruler that also has parallel layout lines on one side.  They come in 6", 12", and 18" lengths.  you can layout 2 parallel lines in 1/8" increments from 1/8" to 2".  it worked very well. 

I was trying this on a piece of 4oz.  initially I was not happy with the "depth" I also was having a problem with the small piece I was working on sliding around.  I got a larger piece of 2-3oz leather rough side up and put it between the work piece and the granite.  it worked like a champ.  the sliding was less of an issue and the depth improved.  

 

hope that helps.
