Casting

Also Known As: Stitch Casting

shoemaker stitch technique of draping the loop of thread formed by passing one needle through over the tip of the other needle passing the opposite way through the hole

Casting can affect the way that the threads lay in the hole, relative to one another. This in turn can affect the way the threads twist around each other across the twist.

See “The Three Saddle Stitches” for more information.
