Help! Screw Up!!!!

[Hardrada]

Not sure it's the best method, but it's what I've been thinking about throughout the day since it's quite likely I also have to undo stitches on a project of mine:

Gato, I had the same idea but given the amount of stitching on the loops I reckon it would be better to just open them up (probably less frustrating in the long run).

Sewing with a jerk needle is an option if you have limited access to the back side.  Just need to feel the tip of the needle (inserted from the front) and loop the thread over the hook of the needle then pull back.  This creates a lockstitch similar to a sewing machine. I've used this to repair boots.  The jerk needle is used like a speedy stitcher, but it is a simple/traditional tool without a bobbin.  I use a sewing awl to make the holes and the jerk needle to make the stitches.  Can buy an American straight needle (#5 or #6) at the site below and chuck it in a pegging awl haft.  Lots of YouTube videos on using a speedy stitcher/jerk needle.

I opened them up. stitched the loops, and resewed them.

Just went ahead and bit the bullet and got it done.

 

Thank you all for the help and inspiration!

See? That wasn't so hard, was it.  You would have regretted it if you didn't do it the right way.
