I had trouble with keeping my tracing paper perfectly line up when trying belts. Leather would shift sometimes and taping the sides wasn't always exact after lifting it to check.

Took a yardstick and cut it into (2) 10" pieces,  and glued it to a cutting board. 1 1/2" apart.

It was exactly 8oz. thickness so I tape the patterns to the sticks and trace. Get to the end of the pattern and simply slide the leather up to the next section. Really easy to check and slide back if I missed a spot as it lines up perfectly.

... can't seem to download them... Send an email if you have to see it

This is often caused by the images being too large. If you email the photos to yourself you might have the opportunity to shrink them.

Now I see that there may be a problem with the file type. You might be able to convert the file using Photoshop.
