BetterBacksideStitch05 30



Today's effort. This is a shot of the the backside of my stitching, using Barbour 18/3 linen thread. Changed technique ever so slightly, showed some improvement on the backside. Still not as nice as I'd like, but happy there is a step in the positive direction.

Are you casting the thread over the 2nd needle? Is it the angle of the photo or are some stitches wider than others?

I am casting the thread over the 2nd needle, which goes from right to left (front side of stitch to backside of stitch). Some stitches do appear wider than others when you are that zoomed in, I think it has to do with the amount of twist on the thread when I pull it tight. At first I thought it might be uneven tension, but when I tried to loosen a small stitch or pull tight on a wide stitch, it made absolutely no difference. Open to suggestions here, as this is one of my major frustrations!

Are you making the same size holes with the awl each time? You have lots of experience at this point, so I am sure you are, but that would have an impact.
