    "Triple-stitch everything, using a straight stitch."

    How exactly would I go about doing that? I have little sewing experience, so diagrams/videos would really help.

    Thanks,

    Nick

    Nick,
    What are you making?
    What is the fabric?
    Coated or uncoated?

    Single stitching is fine for a lot of situations.

    The phrase "triple stitching" is ambiguous, and two lines of stitching is usually enough for almost anything.

    More clues please….

    Hi Greg,

    Thanks for the quick reply. I should have described the project this triple-stitch will be used in.

    I will be making a Ray-way backpack as described in the book Trail Life by Ray Jardine. He mentions "triple-stitching everything, using a straight stitch".

    The majority of the backpack will be constructed of 1.9oz coated nylon and 330 denier Cordura.

    Thanks,

    Nick

    ouch… my machine has a button that I can push and it will do triple stitches on its own…
