It's best to do this with a passive, rather than a worker, and it works
best
in a cloth stitch area. Usually, though, it's the workers that run out of
thread! If this happens, you can "exchange" the worker and a passive by
putting in an extra twist when they meet. Do this a row or two before you
hang in the extra bobbin.
In small projects with few workers this exchange trick can even avoid the
need for adding new threads. But the exchange trick requires tensioning
skills.
In my experience the the exchange is best fixed when the double part goes
through one or two ctct (or tctc) stitches or a few firm twists. Thus you
can double the runner starting with the last cloth stitch before the edge
and ending after the first cloth stitch of the new row.
Remember it takes two to tango, in other words: both threads of a pair
should break at the same spot before your work gets a chance to weaken, or
the doubeling trick gets visible.
