Suturing practice

Hi, what do people think is the best material for simulating suturing? Pigs feet? A plastic surgeon I met recommended chopping grapes in half and sewing them back together to simulate stitching eyeballs!

humans are the best to be honest. I have heard pigs feet are good too though.

Make sure you get the proper double tie on first and be sure that your alternating knots above this are truly alternating and then you will do well. Its practise, practise, practise.
