Oh, leave poor Steve alone LOL. He did a fabulous job of sewing up the squid. It was, a lot harder than it looked. also, Steve being taller (it looked like he was) he was more bent over almost double. That in itself is a hard position to maintain expecially for the long duration he was in this position. (I would have used super glue, which is why Im not a biologist or preserver) This was demonstrated clearly by the lady who was going to show Steve cross stitch and ended up doing a ‘superficial sewing job’ whereas Steves sewing went right through everything – yes I watched it with the sound turned on. And I do agree Ellie did a fabulous job stitching as well. And top marks for effort to the lady who did the cross stitch.

Would a thin monofilament line have worked? It wouldn’t have been nearly as visible, but would it have been more likely to tear the flesh?
