Stitches are not consistent. They look good when stitching in a straight line but not when working on handles.

I have a question for you Frank: When you are stitching, are you working towards yourself or away from your self? If you are stitching towards yourself (your hands coming closer to your body when you progress in your stitching), then it would appear to me as though your prick marks are angled in the wrong direction. I could be totally wrong, but could that be one element of what's going on? I stitch towards myself like many others, and because of this, I have my prick marks angled up-and-away from myself.
This might not explain how the left side of the picture (the vertically oriented seam) looks good while the horizontally oriented seam is amiss. Only thing I would be able to think of here is perhaps you started a new thread and switched direction? It looks like the left side of the picture is the front of the stitches, and the top of the picture is a rear side (where I can see your awl orientation is changing slightly).
If none of this proves to be true and you have figured out what your primary problem was, I would love to hear it! I'm am quite curious.
