Could you mark the center of the punch, like you would a letter stamp, so you can see the lines, then mark a straight line on the back of the leather for punching, and then just line up the marks on the punch with the straight line you have drawn?

This IS my new method, I love it! It will be dead easy to make a new template each time rather trying to have every size template ready made, which is what I had previously considered.

I think the problem would be the size of the punch. Because the punch is only about 6 or 7 mm long, it's still very easy to have it misaligned by a tiny fraction, which might still show up. 

Kindest regards
