superpacker Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikermutt07 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
