When installing one on a 2003 Accord EX sedan, is it best to stitch all
segments in one pass, or stitch from one spoke to the next, cutting &
tying it off, then start the next segment anew?

I assume you are refering to the Wheelskins product which I think Honda
offers.

the only problem with tying off every spoke is that the wax thread does have
a tendency to work it's way loose. If you have only one tie point then there
is less opportunity for the thread to come off. If you start a new piece
after a spoke you then have to tie a knot every time you start.

Manufacturer suggests one continuous thread,

Take your time,

Good luck

Right, it's the one Honda offers (even says "Honda" on the box).

That's what I thought, so I guess I need to run a long stitch behind the
spokes.

Thanks for the feedback.
