If I chisel my stitch holes then leave my project for a few hours, I find the holes close up a little. On some projects, I have no trouble at all.

Members MarkCdub Posted September 2, 2019 Author Members Report Posted September 2, 2019 Thank you for responding, that makes really good sense to me. I also don't hammer the chisels all the way through so the bottom may just have smaller holes. Quote
Members MarkCdub Posted September 2, 2019 Author Members Report Posted September 2, 2019 Here is where I'm at so far. I made a mistake while stamping, 1 stitching bole is too close to other holes for comfort, I'm not sure if the pattern is big enough for a full size trapper style folder, and I do not have enough thread to complete this project... Oh and its labor day weekend so everything is closed and mail isn't running. Quote
