Like someone has already said on this forum, ONE line of stitching is strong enough. Remember, we make our pants back seams with one line of stitching,
then wear it for a long time, sitting on it, witch really does put a lot of strain on
it and No, I'm not gonna put up a picture of me to prove my point, no way.
