There’s about 4,000 entries on Google for ‘backstitching.’ I liked this illustration:
Illustration (2): running backstitch
The numbers on the thread, from left to right, read 10<9, 7>8, 6<5, 3>4, 2<1.
…THAT’S IT!!!..Thanks Larry! Now it’s off to make that…whatever it is I wanna make. 
This should make it clear:

…ah, the saddle stitch…my favorite. How’s it embellished?
Joseph, I found the cut from Keiran on backstitching. If you still have the CDs I made from the Tionol its on Tape1 Side B not far from the beginning.
Let me know if you cant find it.

snoogie:“its on Tape1 Side B.”
…I was unaware that CDs had 2 playable sides. 
Are the CDs labelled as such? Admittedly, it has been some time since I listened through them.
Yep they are labeled as such. The reason is that I transferred audio tape to CDs, and then labeled directly off of what the Tape’s name was…
If you can’t find it let me know and I’ll burn another…-g
Leave it to me to miss the obvious. The CDs are right here at my elbow as I sit before the Shrine of the Mighty Microchip Processor. I’ll give a listen to it tonight. Thanks for the reminder…and the recordingd(again). 
A clear example (of an already derailed thread)
Now that’s neat! 
The little exercise above sounds cool, but where exactly in a tune would you use it?
You can hear it in many solo recordings of the uilleann pipes, but if you don’t know what to listen for, try Ken Ricketts playing Lark in the Morning on Snips and Clips and listen for the toneless pip-ity-pip between notes in the 3rd section.

Okay, sounds like they fit in where you might do something like a series of rolls. I was fooling around with this on a few tunes and found that they seemed to fit – for example – on the first bit of the Kesh Jig where I’d normally go from a G roll or GFG triplet to an A roll or an ACA triplet. Also tried them on the last phrase of the A part of a Cup of Tea where you go down the scale in thirds. That f-- up the rhythm.
