Master the Art of the Saddle Stitch 🧵🔨 Why do we choose the traditional Saddle Stitch over a sewing machine? Here’s the secret: Machine stitches use two separate threads that loop around each other. If one breaks, the whole seam unravels.
In a Saddle Stitch, two needles pass entirely through the same hole from opposite sides. It creates a "lock" that provides unmatched durability.
Key Steps for a Perfect Stitch: 1️⃣ Marking: Use a wing divider for a consistent line. 2️⃣ Punching: Keep your chisels perfectly vertical. 3️⃣ Casting: Always cross your needles the same way for that signature slanted look. 4️⃣ Finishing: Backstitch two holes for maximum security.
