To use this Stitching Groover, loosen the knurled locking nut and adjust the blade depth, depending on how far you want the stitch grooves to be from the edges of your leather, and re-tighten the locking nut until the blade is firmly in place, with the blade pointing forward. Once adjusted, grip the handle firmly then place the Stitching Groover on the surface of the leather where you want to create a groove. Make sure the centre tip of the Stitching Groover is placed outside the leather edge, because this will be your guide in making straight groove lines. Tilt the tool at a 30 to 45 degree angle with the blade edge touching the surface of the leather. Then pull along the edge while pushing the tool down to cut a groove in your leather. Add more pressure to make more deep grooves.
