The stitches in an American Football are called Laces.
you throw it with your fingers on the laces
The laces on a leather football is made of COTTON.
So it is easier to grip the ball.

There has to be a slit somewhere to insert the air bladder through, THat slit is then closed with the laces.
My DIK
I don't know if you mean stitches or laces. There are 8 laces on a football, but there are several hundred stitches.

"Laces out" in Ace Ventura refers to the best form for kicking a field goal in football. The ball should be positioned with its laces out (facing the goalpost) rather than with the laces in (facing the kicker). The trajectory of the ball is more easily controlled when it is positioned laces out, which makes it more desirable when kicking the field goal. In the film, "Lois" Einhorn/Ray Finkle blames Dan Marino for positioning the football laces in and costing him a Super-Bowl-winning field goal. His anger about this prompts him to kidnap Marino and Snowflake, the mascot for the Miami Dolphins.

The thrower should have at least his/her ring finger on the laces. If your hands are larger you can put your middle finger on there too. If your hands are smaller then you may have to use a smaller football. The most important aspect is that the thrower's hand must cover half of the ball to have control and make a good spiral.
