There are two common needles used for holding the Tejas Superior Calf Wallet Lace which are the loc eye (Hook-N-Eye) needle and the 2 Prong Lacing Needles. The adjustable groover works great with tooling leather but not well with soft leathers. This tool can also be used for making a decorative line along the edge of a project even if it is not sewn. The bar that makes the groove has a small set screw that adjusts how far from the edge you want your groove.
The tools used for making grooves are called an adjustable groover (used for most leather craft projects) or a saddle maker's groover (used on heavy harness and thick saddle leather). If you want the stitching to run in a groove, it will line up straighter and allow the thread to last longer since it will lay below the surface to protect it from friction. However an adjustable creaser will allow you to mark how far the line is to be from edge and run a line along the edge that will be easy to see. You could also lightly run a scratch awl guided with a ruler to mark a line. You could just use a compass from school for running a light line along the edge of the leather. First you have to mark how far from the edge of the leather you are going to sew. Hand sewing wallets, belt pouches, briefcases or knife cases is easy with the correct tools.
