Members superpacker Posted March 19, 2018 Members Report Posted March 19, 2018 What is the preferred method for continuing a line of stitches after running out of thread? To date, I've never sewn anything large enough that couldn't be done with a single strand of thread in a reasonable length. But that is about to change with a pending project, and I realized I've never confronted that issue before. Can anyone offer any suggestions. Sorry if this has been previously covered, but I couldn't seem to find it. Thank you! Quote
Members Halitech Posted March 20, 2018 Members Report Posted March 20, 2018 what I do is leave enough thread that I can double up a few stitches after I start my next thread. It's basically like a modified backstitch where instead of backstitching, you go forward a few over the new thread Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?

bikermutt07 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Posted March 20, 2018 I start in the hole of my last stitch. That way it looks like the thread just continues. I try to map it out to where I wind up in a lower stressed area. I mean, I'm not building a parachute. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
