Guest Maj Millard Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 One thing often neglected with ribstitching, is people do not run a re-inforcing tape along the top of the rib (on outside), before rib- stitching. This one step alone increases the strength considerably, by decreaseing the chance of the stitch pulling through the fabric only, and now has to pull through two thicknesses of fabric. Well worth doing for little extra weight and twice the strength !..A recommended proceedure in the industry...........Maj... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
