Howdy, I'm new to the forum, but I joined because I had a question about hand stitching. I'm making a sheath, and when I got to the end of my stitching, I made my first backstitch and when I pulled taught, my thread broke. I'm not sure if I pierced the thread with my needle, but I think that is what happened. I've made the holes bigger for the stitch at the location where I will be backstitching again. I was wondering if this will make my stitch looser now though and maybe I should triple stitch? I'm open to any recommendations, I want my work to be of quality and last a long time, so my stitches need to be very secure. Thanks a lot.
