I mean, that's a great stitch. It's really good for mending and tailoring. But you do *not* want to use that to close a wound! *Especially* before dissolving stitches are invented!
Sometimes I feel like an uncultured American swine, but then out of nowhere I recognize the name of a famous physician from the Three Kingdoms period of ancient China, all because I read the romance like 15 years ago, and I feel redeemed.
I stared at this for awhile trying to wrap my head around this and I think the magic happens 13 seconds in where the needle goes into the same loop it just came out of.
Creating new garments from cloth is a whole skill that takes time to learn, but basic sewing of things back together is really an essential every day kind of skill. I only learned it in my late 20's, though, too.
Sleeves too long.. fuck me, I wish had that problem. Being 6’8” sucks balls when it comes to clothing. It’s either too short, or fucking expensive. No middle road.
I had to think hard about the first one: the extra loops are made so the thread doesn't take "shortcuts" under the fruit skin towards the center of the stitched circle, but follows the stitches at least until the loops are removed.
Nah, that first one would do absolutely nothing for closing a laceration. It's just an example of how you can hide thread by moving it underneath the surface instead of above.
Anyone who actually sews, for the first one, what is the point of looping the thread over the needle to simply unloop it all at the end? After they unloop, they pull the thread tight as if they hadn't looped it at all. Seems to me like they tied a bunch of "knots" to make it look like the stitches disappear all at once when they could have not tied the "knots" at all.
That stitch is just showing how you can guide the path of a thread in a non linear direction when the underside of the surface you are sewing isn’t accessible. The stitch itself doesn’t do any attaching. It just ensures that an anchor thread is where you need it to be under the fabric.
Think affixing a weird shaped patch by hand to a weird shaped pillow.
It’s not actually particularly useful very often but it looks neat.
For doing something temporary, it'd be a great technique! It'd hold the thing down securely for however long you need, then you can just clip the finish knot, loosen the chainstitching undo the stitches, then clip off the original knot & pull out the thread! Waaaay easier than "unpicking" regular stitches!
For temporary applications (like those skin stitches mentioned--as long as you had access to antibiotics for after tgread removal!) Or in places where you'd normally baste something, but don't want to spend tons of time unpacking basting stitches, it'd be great! It's basically the same stitch a Chainstitch machine does (the stitches at the top of large bags of dog & other animal food!), and removing chainstitch is waaaaay easier than picking out almost any other type of temporary stitch😉
Nothing wrong with identifying yourself as someone willing to fuck over starving people the way or leaders are... It makes it easier for everyone else to avoid them.
Assuming you are referring to people who depend on SNAP, think of all the people they don't lead who depended on USAID. And now they talk of Musk becoming a trillionaire.
There will always be some pain, but you're right about the blood. Although depending on the severity of the wound you're going to need a deeper stitch to keep it shut. So while technically correct, practically I wouldn't bet on it.
If you aren't squeamish, look up needle play. If you know what you're doing, take your time, and keep close tabs on your partner, you can do some intense and beautiful looking designs in human skin, and they'll experience only mild discomfort. A lot of people consensually and carefully engage in this, because while it is often painless, it DOES cause your body to do a MASSIVE endorphin euphoria.

Not sure how that'd protect against the pain of having a wound stitched shut like this, but it's a nice collection.

I’d say dissolvable stitches might be beneficial here.

probably less than leaving the wound open.
also, if you do it right there's quite a bit of depth of skin you can stick needles in without blood or pain
