Members Cumberland Highpower Posted July 18 Members Report Posted July 18 (edited) Something else to consider is to not put so many "tacks" in that backtack. All you really need is one back stitch. One is enough, but 2 can be a plus. 2 as in 2 complete stitches back, not 2-3 piled up on top of each other. All that thread in one place just makes a globby mess and doesn't look so neat. If you're backtacking with heavy thread like yours, you shouldn't have more than 2 threads visible in each completed backtack stitch. Edited July 18 by Cumberland Highpower Quote
rktaylor Posted July 21 Author Report Posted July 21 (edited) Thanks for all the tips. I know 3 stitches are a lot and I don't have this problem all the time. I think some of the issue is thread. I have thread from different suppliers and its certainly different. Regardless, I have started back stitching 2 and then going forward. Randy Edited July 21 by rktaylor Grammar Quote
