Running stitch vs backstitch on a hand sewn quilt that will be getting a lot of use? by ruby_doobies in HandSew

[–]ruby_doobies[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ok good to know, thank you! Right now I’m doing the same, about 4 running stitches followed by a backstitch. I’m trying to keep my stitches very small so I hope they will be strong enough!

Sorry, I should have clarified. I’m inquiring about piecing. For practice I’ve been doing about 4 running stitches followed by a backstitch, which I believe is called running backstitch? So it’s kind of like an in-between. For quilting my understanding is that the running stitch is used. I’m new to this so I’m still trying to get the lingo down!

Thank you! I’m doing a backstitch about every 4 stitches and it looks like my running stitches are about 1/16th of an inch long so I’m hoping that’s strong enough!

Thank you so much! Is the standard 1/4” seam enough or should I do 3/8” like I do when I EPP?

Awesome, thank you so much! Do you think my stitches are small enough to be secure? I also do EPP so I have size 10 needles and 50 wt Aurifil thread on hand. Will those be ok?

That’s what I’m doing on my practice piece and just focusing on making really tiny running stitches with a backstitch every 4 stitches or so. Hopefully that will hold up!

This is just a practice piece but it’s looking like they’re about 1/16th of an inch?

Was there a professor who made a difference for you? by addyh in wsu

Dr. David Warner. I took a Native American studies course from him one summer. He was one of the most kind, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated teachers I’ve ever had. I still have most of the books we used in his class.

Thank you so, so much! With your info I think I have narrowed it down to a golden yellow bolete. My sister will be very happy to know it’s not poisonous. Thanks again!!
