Hi Nancy, Elena and other Arachnids, The overlap in the cloth stitch is really fast. I do it for years now. It is faster than making the cloth stitch with palms up. That way you have to pick up pairs and lay down pairs. On a cooky pillow with palms down it is for me a natural way of making the cloth stitch.
