My first question would be, "Do you have this problem on all your projects, or just this one? If it's just this one, then an examination of what's different than your others would be in order.If it's all of your projects then it seems that you need to improve your consistency of every detail of the stitching process. I would also agree with Phil that being so close to the edge has created some issues for yourself. What I would suggest is to check out some videos of Phil on stitching or Nigel Armitage, Then try to develop a consistent process of every part of the stitching process, from marking, to punching, to threading the needle, to stitching rhythm and tension (to name a few). Then make yourself a couple of belts to start getting the hang of it. Like they say....practice, practice, practice!
