I usally use 2 as well, but these lines on this one is so close two would be way too thick. I don't put anything on the back as sometimes to too hard to work through with my hands, having arthritis pretty bad in them, but I try and keep them moving. Thank you.

If I am working on a very small piece (or small area), I sometimes vary the threads, one in small areas and two for the most part. Have fun and enjoy!
