Thanks Friso, I'll check them out.
Like you, I stitch by hand, so I'll pick your brain a little more.....I use a hand stitching tool (like those used for saddle repair), what type needles do you use?
Thanks.
I use the thinnest ones I can fit into an awl. They go through the leather easier, and leave neater stitches. You will want to get yourself a marking wheel too. They lay out your stitch lines where you want them, then I use a punch awl to put the holes into the leather, then stitch through those.
