How many strands do I have to use for backstitching?

I would still use only the 1 thread for backstitching … try it out and see if it is heavy enough … I believe it should be!

Depending the count you are stitching 2 strand on a 32 conut 1stitch on 36 or 40 count

I think all stitching is different from person to person. I test out 1-2 strands for back stitch and see which I like better. It might look better on some patterns and not so good on others

It depends on the patterns. It should tell you how many strands to use

Все зависит от схемы и задумки автора. Так же от основы и качества нитей.

Depend on preference, I would try 1 strand, but if its too faint, use 2.
