What is a double-stitch?

I looked in my one sewing book I can find, I looked online. I'm not talking about crocheting.

Hopefully its doing two parallel lines of stitching, one within the seam allowance, one on the seam line, because that's what I just did.

So, enlighten me, in case I'm in the dark.

that would actually be a double crochet.....just to pick a nit. lol

Ok. Whenever I've seen directions say to double stitch something, it means sew once on the regular seam line (5/8" from the edge usually in most commercial patterns.) And then follow that up with a second row of stitching in the seam allowance. The most common place I've seen that direction given is for the center or crotch seam on pants. They usually say something like "reinforce with double row of stitching." I just sew it once then serge it but y'know same idea.

So you most likely did it right. ;) Whatcha making?

certainly ain't like doing shirts. You gotta do all the nit-picky stuff first before you even start seeing what its going to look like. I'm using some $1/yd walmart fabric for the first one. I've got beau coup fabric here. Just thought of an idea for a tent the I'm going to try to make. I like being creative too. ciao.
