Which Way?
18 October 2006 20:32 sbqThis week’s SBQ was suggested by Vash and is:
Which way do you stitch, i.e. do you stitch /// followed by \\\ on top, or the other way around \\\ followed by ///? Are you left- or right-handed and do you think that this affects the way that you stitch?
I stitch /// followed by \\\ and I am right-handed.
I have often wondered if whether or not which “handed” you are makes a difference in which direction you stitch. In fact, for the longest time I assumed that if you were left-handed you would stitch \\\ and then ///.
I suppose it is possible that your dominant hand has something to do with which direction you stitch, but I have been asked to stitch opposite of “my” way and as long as reminded myself to do it when I first picked up my needle I didn’t have a problem switching.

Oops. Or not, lol! I would have been, if I wasn’t distracted from my commenting by a small boy!

I’ve been lurking on the mailing list for a very long time, and I’ve finally gathered up enough courage to post an answer to the groups meme.

I usually stitch \\\ followed by ///, although at the moment I’m stitching on so many RR’s I’m not sure how I stitch anymore (I just had to check). The reason I posed this question is that from most of the RRs I have stitched on, nearly every other stitcher seems to stitch the other way around to me and I wondered whether the fact that I was left-handed had anything to do with it?

It will try to explain in my bad English, I I use the English method, greater information to see this Link, and soon embroider the first leg/in the misfortune/of above and soon I close with \, this gives greater tension to the embroidering, and it does not create the zurcos of the Danish.

Took a while because of software issues, but I’m posted.
And something’s wonky on the comment page here, everyone’s existing comments are crossing over the margin line, and the fill-in boxes here where I leave a new comment are all rolled off the edge and partly non visible…
