It is obviously easier to split a thread from the top than to fumble under the fabric to try to come out right in the middle of a stitch. So I would say that the Split Back Stitch is easier than the Split Stitch, but the result, especially on the back, is much neater with the Split Stitch.

Nice samples!
Definitely agree there!
I think I used to split stitches by accident.
Interesting I didn't realize that. So which is your favorite? Is there an advantage one over the other? obviously a neater back is good....
Oh, I never would have thought to try this stitch with silk ribbon!
