I won't tell you where they are but one thing I did to make that triangular pattern happen more cleanly was that I lightly imprinted a few lines to act as a grid. I still had to go in and fix some that the spacing was a bit off.
I also found a better way in which I like to case my leather so tooling is a bit more crisp. I tend to wet it and then put it in a ziploc bag or use plastic wrap for larger pieces. It forces moisture into the leather rather than drying off the top right away.
Other than that PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!
