I hate SITD. When I have to do it I use 100 wt thread. it’s not as easy to see when I go out of the ditch.
I also do it with my FMQ function as I find it gives me more control to stay in the ditch; especially if there are places where the seams don’t match up exactly.
i do this too. Next time will try the 100 wt thread. I don’t like SITD and only so it “under protest”!!
