@jsrnf I'm still a rookie but here's my 2 cents, from what I've seen there are several ways to punch the holes in leather. There are punches available that can be used to make multiple holes at once. Al Stohlman recommends using an awl and punching the individual holes right before making the stitch, and most interesting (to me anyway) is I've seen some people use a drill press with a very small bit to make the holes after using a over stitch wheel to mark the locations. Hope this helps.
what if the thread I prepared was too short, and halfway through I ran out of thread. How to I link the threads ?
