Members Mattsbagger Posted February 2, 2017 Members Report Posted February 2, 2017 I have the same problem and wonder if it the cast on both sides are my issue. Maybe don't cast where the back stitching is? I will try that. Thinking out loud and rambling sorry.lol Quote
Members JamesR Posted February 2, 2017 Author Members Report Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Mattsbagger, Yes, I tried not casting my last 2 stitches on a sample piece and it does seems to work better. When I backstitch over a "cast' stitch I find that I end up pushing through the braid and this hangs up the works. When I have used unbraided cord I don't have this problem. Yes I'm thinking out loud too. Edited February 2, 2017 by JamesR Quote

Members Brianm77 Posted February 3, 2017 Members Report Posted February 3, 2017 Maybe I am showing how much of an amateur I am but what are y'all talking about "cast"? Quote
Members JamesR Posted February 4, 2017 Author Members Report Posted February 4, 2017 Brianm77, It's when you wrap the thread around the needle on each stitch which sort of forms a knot. There are tutorials on the web showing you how to do it. Quote
