I have a quick question about saddle sticthing. I have not been able to get the angled stitching on both sides of my practice work. I am using japanese pricking irons that are 3 mm, john james #4 needles and thred that is .45 mm. I am able to get the results of angled on one side but not the other with a cast. I have watched the video at least 4 times and i am missing something. i need some guidance from the group. thank you

@kujawac If you want a European look to your stitching, you'll need to use a European style pricking iron. It doesn't really matter where it's made, but you want the marks on your leather to look like this: / / / / / / rather than diamond/square shaped holes.
