"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

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….

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
