TomMeyers Report post Posted July 25 What are your thoughts on using a speedy stitcher to sew a chain Stitch rather than a lock stitch. It seems more practical - no need to estimate the length of the free end of the thread. Purists might object since it is not a saddle stitch. I am thinking of using it for purses. It reduces the difficulty of poking the needle from the inside of a bag for saddle stitching. It is used on blue jeans and seems to be durable. Thanks, tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mulesaw Report post Posted July 25 @TomMeyers If it works I can't see anything wrong with that. I think it will take bit of experience to make it easy and look nice, but so does most things. A saddle stitch makes sense to use where it is needed due to strength. But for purses I doubt that there will be much risk at stake should a stitch fail. So I definitely think that you should go for it. Brgds Jonas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
