Finding on many glider items people use external stitches that can catch sharp glider claws I put the effort into to practice tight hidden hand stitches.
Here you can see or not the hand stitched part between the metal at the top of the pouch.
This one is of me trying to pull the fabric back to show the difference in the machine stitches and mine. Only it is too tight to do so! 🙂
No matter what kind of stitching is on my glider pouches, make sure nightly that they are tight and not worn and certainly no holes! Always have back up clean pouches waiting!
