i don't know any sewing stitch called bagheera, and would be interested to see it...

but curiously, the most common stitch for sewing fur, is a stitch identical to the one used for sewing the seam on baseballs (a half underhand stitch) and i am told the same stitch is used to sew blood vessels together.. so Dr bill, what do you know about cardiac surgery? or Doc Comfort? or Alex? and cardiac surgeons out there to confirm or deny the story?

(is is used the the same reasons, strong, results in neat, tightly butted edges, and resist twisting.)
