darchildreA lot of things about being an autodidact are cool and fun but sometimes, you get to be 40 years old and realize that you have been doing something the hardest way possible for years because you taught yourself and it never had to be that difficult.
This post brought to you by the realization that I have been doing whipstitch wrong for my whole life. Now I know how to do it the right way and will finally be able to sew all those cool patches I've bought over the years onto things without suffering.

When I finally got a proper book on the subject, all of the things I’d been struggling with for years suddenly made much more sense.
