When you stab you do just that. Go up from the bottom, pull the thread up and go back down, pulling again. To me is a great way to keep your stitches even. The other method you can use is rocking, where everything is done from the top and you place you finger at the bottom to feel that the needle crossed all the layers, but you can't really see it. Is realy fast and with practice you can get real good at it.

Thanks!
