Yes, i was taught that too. Taking every other stitch out a bit farther insured you would ‘bury’ the ring half way so the sewing pattern looked much the same on each side and spread the loading. When you do a #10 ring like that, it’s art.
this is the viedo that taught me why tarps in our world nowadays fall apart. a million thank yous, am sitting down to do this to my groundcloth right now.
The thing i find sad is few people may know how to do this soon. It wasn’t that long ago that all sewing was done this way or similarly, by hand. A sailmaker on a square rigger did this all day long. I appreciate your comment.
It's Hemingway & Bartlet V-346 waxed polyester. Has almost no twist and lays flat normally. You can also make a good thread from taking three strand polyester rope and breaking it down carefully into smaller threads and waxing it well. I like thgis best of all but when you have to do lots of rings the commercial thread is easiest
I love these! I was taught that if I had any ring exposed, that I should have done more stitches. Good times! Thank you!
