It starts similarly to the first method, but rather than punch through, the surface of the leather is very lightly marked. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6782ffe6836ec90d529f672c/a02063b5-3f80-4073-9f8f-f2a017a200fb/Stitch+example+1.png Olkmo Atelier - Subtle displays of Craftsmanship, “Quiet Luxury” and the expression of Style - Approach 1: A Weak Point to Avoid Here, the pricking irons have been positioned into the top corner. This results in an overly visible hole that compromises both aesthetics and structure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6782ffe6836ec90d529f672c/9c12fba7-c0c0-4df6-96d5-80ab39c77be2/Stitch+example+2.png Olkmo Atelier - Subtle displays of Craftsmanship, “Quiet Luxury” and the expression of Style - Approach 2: Changing hole type One solution is to maintain the hole’s position but switch to a smaller round hole, ensuring the thread fills it completely and preventing leather separation. While this approach emphasizes the structural integrity of the piece, the straight stitch coming out of the corner becomes even more noticeable, disrupting the aesthetic flow. While many artisans accept this trade-off, others will seek an alternative solution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6782ffe6836ec90d529f672c/d01595fe-299a-40d4-a0c7-daffa42ce624/Screenshot+2025-03-28+at+3.42.17%E2%80%AFPM.png Olkmo Atelier - Subtle displays of Craftsmanship, “Quiet Luxury” and the expression of Style - Make it stand out Example: Eliminating corner hole & a better application for the technique https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6782ffe6836ec90d529f672c/6a8cd1f5-9ea6-4d21-9332-37ac820d48f5/Case+pricking+iron+stitch+details.png Olkmo Atelier - Subtle displays of Craftsmanship, “Quiet Luxury” and the expression of Style - Make it stand out Custom Tool Case for Pricking Irons (with Toad Skin Inlay): an example of when we want to showcase both sides of the stitch https://www.olkmo.com.au/olkmoatelier/blog-post-title-one-82ntz monthly 0.5 2025-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6782ffe6836ec90d529f672c/ac2f3bd6-42d0-4866-8c86-01be86151846/First+days+rough+leathercraft.png Olkmo Atelier - All beginnings have an end… - Make it stand out Working with gifted, thrifted and discarded tools that I picked up along the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6782ffe6836ec90d529f672c/75376fdb-889e-40f9-af27-a7f1d50d26db/Shop+fron+original.png Olkmo Atelier - All beginnings have an end… - Make it stand out You can’t make this stuff up!!
