To be fair that was my very first saddle build ever. I have built at least 20 since then and upgraded sewing machine. The pattern is of my own design and has not changed but the stitching pattern and stitch count has changed . I never said that commercial saddle are not good. My only problem with commercial saddle is if the stitches are not tight then it is not quality and could be a safety factor. I have only owned one commercial sadldle and sat in a few. In knowing that, I haven’t seen any loose stitches.
I have found the diamond stitch pattern with back and forth stitches to be very strong. I’ll post a link to my saddle testing post below. I do not put the back and forth stitch on the ends of the diamond pattern by the loops because I believe it to be over kill. I would be super happy to discuss saddle stitching with you or anybody.
I took no offense to any post. Just wanna help.
