First Saddle stitch critique

Recommended Posts

This represents my 3rd and 4th attempt at saddle stitching. Front and back.  I also attempted to practice back stitching on the top row.  I know there are a few mistakes, not sure what they were so I can avoid them.   The pierced thread bit me on the top run. Cut it out and soldiered on.  Overall, kinda of zen like when the rhythm kicked in.

Leather 1.90~2.0mm

Crimson Hide irons 3mm (top), 4mm (bottom)

Tiger Thread  .6mm (orange), .8mm (black)

Speaking of Crimson, they sent me two sample threads to try in gold and white when I received my irons.   Japanese Polyester Thread I believe. .4 and .5mm respectively.  A nice surprise.   

Thanks for any feedback!

William
