Right, you've got to go over it twice to get it threaded where
thread was originally. That's what I did. I went one direction and
then turned around and went back filling in the unthreaded areas.
Tensioning each stitch is important. You don't want it too tight so
it draws up the material but you don't want it so loose that it stands
proud. You'll get the hang of it in short order.

Zig-zag on both sides in the original holes. Wear your glasses.


The original stitching is zig-zag. Would I be right in thinking that I
should zig-zag in one direction first, and then turn and do the
complementary zig-zag? (The original is machine-stitched, so has two courses
of thread.)
