I never saw this before, probably because this guy is on my ignore list, but I close similarly too. I think I get to about the step where there are drawn arrows, and where I assume everyone got confused... and I just turn it inside out, fill, and tighten the thread. I don't do the needle-through-the-bag bit either, I just push the knot through a bleed hole.

Blind stitch is scary... And I think I'd rather just not have to do it when I have the option of seeing what I'm doing...

could someone PLEASE explain to me the part about puttting both threads through some hex stitch? i get lost after like the 3rd picture i think. the part where he says "You are going to want to push the needle and thread through this hole between the two hexagon stitches, then up through the top." is very confusing to me. i think i would like this way better if i undertood it... maybe ill just try and see how it works at the end.

I can't explain it to you. I spent 20 mins on paint trying to draw it but i couldn't even understand it. Try it and hopefully you'll get it, what more can i say. I feel like crap knowing what to do but not having a way to say or show it. I'll try but it may/ may not make sense.

the reason you put the needle where it is specified is because you wouldn't be able to pull the stitches tight. If you did the needle would be IN the bag resulting in a not-so-choice bag..lol
