good to know!...

when you say whip stitch through the sides of the individual stitches, is that through the actual fiber of the yarn, or does that mean through a loop? I'm thinking you mean through the fiber, because I've been doing through the the loops, and I think that might be the problem, effecting that bulky appearance?
