backstitch in the middle of a row of stitching??

Recommended Posts

Hello friends,

Please see attached picture - does anyone know how to achieve a backstitch in the middle of a row of stitching??

it seems there would be 3 wraps of thread instead of just 2 in order to be able to continue stitching the same direction...

 

Thanks!

From the picture it looks like it very well could be 3 wraps. 

Also, If you just pull the first and second one tighter, they will be less noticeable.

Thank you Red!

I just took some leather to the pony and got to stitching and it seems it has to be 3 wraps (one stitch toward you, backstitch, then another stitch toward you to continue the line....

I appreciate you sharing!

Hey thekid77. Just bumped into this...

It's easy. Just backstitch with only one string (one needle) and then return to the last hole. That way, you only wrap one string of thread and you'll get a fake-ish "double" stitch on that section. Then continue normally with your stitch. :)

 

I've never done it but it seems logical.

 

cheers!
