Communal stitch on pents?

Guest_2 · Post by **Guest_2** » 21 Feb 2006 15:20

Does anyone else use this circled area as one hole? I need to know this-not for myself-but for the three people I'm teaching to stitch. Please help me help others

Thanks all!

I stitch twice at that spot.

edit: i dont even quite understand how that would work. how would you make the stitch through the hexes?

I don't share the stitch.

If your stitching & gathering is even it could probably make a good bag though.

try it out it seems like it could work
experimentation will only further your understanding

Me too. To make things line up nicely you would some how have to make the 1st & 2nd and 7th & 8th stitches on the hex share the same holes as well.

For a few bags back when I was just starting to make 32's I had a communal hole but I soon realised it was a bad set-up.

You basically can't get the hot sharp corners with the communal method.

at some point i did this communal thing too.but i stopped cause like mosher said.you cant get nice and sharp pents that way...alltho,i have one bag,made by onehole corners that came out pretty ood.but that was a lucky shot...so,do two stiches there...
