One of the best instruction videos on the saddle stitch

[Tugadude]

Always good to see different takes on things and the saddle stitch is no exception.  Parts of this video are excellent and I particularly like how he showed how to create flat stitches on the backside of your work versus slanted stitches using the "cast" technique.  

Also, he does a great job of showing exactly how the thread is situated in the holes, where to insert the 2nd needle, etc.  Took me a while to really understand how the thread behaves and I hope this will help those who might be struggling.

that's an improvement.  never understood (still dont) why somebody would watch HOURS of video to do something so simple.   16 minutes is more.... SANE.
