And, well you might be asking for info to sew leather. Since holes punched in leather don't close in like cloth, most people who repair seams in leather will try to put their needle holes exactly in the holes left from the original stitching. CD was sewing a decal on the back of a leather jacket, covering new ground. If you repair the seam and don't intend to use the original needle holes, I suggest folding a piece of twill tape over the seam and sewing through that. Remember too, that a special type of glue is often used in leather garments. Instead of back-tacking, I'd leave enough thread to tie off. CD is the expert on sewing leather, ask him.
