Finishing The Machine Stitch With Hand Stitch

Recommended Posts

I have yet to figure out how to back stitch without having a stack of stitches on the back side.

I have been finishing it out by leaving extra thread and grabbing a needle and backstitching (or forward) by hand then melting the ends.

Since I am learning I cant help but ask myself, and now you.....Is there anything wrong with doing this???

As always .....thanks for your time.

Hi Mate, there is nothing wrong with doing it this way as far as I am concerned. I do it this way myself if there is any concern of mucking it up with the machine. all the best, Peter.

I've been finishing off lock stitches with saddle stitching for several years now....nothing wrong with it, and I really like the results since I can put a "half stitch" in as the last stitch and have both thread ends on the same side (usually the back).

I agree, nothing wrong with it --- sometimes I prefer it for aesthetic reasons --- like Mike said, just be sure to end your half-stitch on the back...

I do it as well, particularly if the seam is curved, hard to back up into the same holes if the stitch line isn't straight.
