esantoro Report post Posted January 18, 2008 Anyone have particular tricks or methods for reading/viewing stitches. I keep a mirror handy, so I can periodically see how the bobbin thread is lying down. I'm currently redoing a strap where the top thread was being pulled all the way to the bottom and visible. How often do you check the the lay of the bobbin thread. On this one particular strap, I had forgotten to check. No I'm redoing by hand cranking and checking every six inches or so. This is on two layers of 5/7 latigo. I don't think there would be too much of an issue with thicker leather. ed (who's thinking out loud again) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
