Anyone know how to sew up a leather handle with a baseball type of stitch?

I use 2 needles.

Punch your holes in your leather grip material.

Start at the top, needle into the top hole from underneath.

Go under the seam and out through the next hole on the otherside.

Keep going in the same way, needle into the seam and out the next hole until the end.

It will make all kinds of sense to you, once you start doing it.

Thanks Apex, exactly what I was looking for.  I have some punches, don't ahve the fancy tool, but I think it will put me on the right path.
