I have watched and read everything I can find when it comes to backstitching when you start and finish a seam.
I still have problems. More often than not, actually.
For example, many times I can't for my life fit a needle on top of a thread when the recipe tells calls for it.
How did you master the perfect parallell backstitching?

I too have had the same problem as you. I tried to figure out a method and this was what I came up with:

In the mean time I came across this video that shows a simple and very good method. What I got from this was to only tighten on thread at a time. This makes everything much easier. At some point I will make a new post on my blog about it.

I can tell you now, you will get many people giving you many pieces of advice in order to help, but if video format isn't working for you, then text off a forum from people who can't visualise your problem, is going to be frustrating for you.
The only way we can help, is to critique your technique.
That means taking a short video on your phone with good lighting and a clear angle, posting it on YouTube as an 'unlisted' video, then posting the link here for our eyes only.
That might sound daunting and a lot of work, but I guarantee you'll get the answer - and quickly too!
(though if you are using tiger thread after all that, I'm going to throw a kipper towards Sweden!)
