I just bought a stitching clam which I like as it is easier to stitch bigger or more awkward items than the stitch pony I made myself. The problem, as i have heard others mention is that you cannot see the other side of the leather you are stiching. As a result I am finding it hard to judge putting my needle through from the rear. It can take many attempts befoire my needle finds the awl hole and sometimes I simply have to lift the leather ans look at the other side. Any tips for this or is it simply a matter of repeated practice.

@Leathercraft Masterclass @Fadi Is it more difficult would you say to chase a needle than an awl? I stitched blindly with pre-punched holes yesterday and I really wished that I knew that technique. 😬
