It doesn't look to hard to do. Here are a few pictures on a tall CP and HW on a movement I'm playing with right now. This was modded by Joel Trenalone in California. Timepieceshoppe.com

Looking great! Saddle stitching is a bit like meditation... isn’t it? Do you clamp your straps for stitching or do hold them in your hands? I am also working on a couple of sets right now - would love some exchange...

Well for the 24x22 I'll use dark beige, and the 24x24 I'll use dark brown I guess. But still not decided yet. I may change after a couple of stitches, if I don't like the way it looks

I don't use clamps. I love the way it feels while stitching in my hands. Yes stitching is like meditation you're right:)
