How to draw slated dashed lines in adobe illustrator
Hello Everybody,
I'm using Adobe Illustrator to design patterns and I want to draw stitching lines with slanted dashes. Do you guys know how can I do that?
Hoping to find an experienced leather crafter and Illustrator crafter!
Cheers,

i have tried for a long time to try to create a slanted line to follow a curve or a straight line, but this is the best i got, creating a pattern brush, although it distorts as soon as it gets onto a curve.
although it does seem to be quite accurate. now i just create a dashed stroke, 0 dash and the space is the gap between prongs, so 3.38 gap for 8spi prongs.
the good thing with this is, as i stretch a line out, i can see where the spacing will end. if you want to put it onto a a long path with curves etc, make sure it is on the preserves gaps, otherwise it shrinks the spacing to fit the line.
this is just the tcard section for a wallet, but you can see the cards are between the stitches and all stitches end in the corners - at least they do on here. the 9.583 gap is what 3.38mm is in points.
