Hard to relate to your project but generally, here is what I do. ....
1) I lay out my new line with calipers/compass and lightly scribe.
2) I follow my scribe line with a star wheel of spur wheel. You will have to determine if the new spacing, matches any of you existing stitches.
3) I use a round pointed punch to punch my new holes.
4) I use a hand stitching Awl for my new stitches. Some folks prefer the two needle stitching method.
5) I terminate my stitches and tuck them into the holdster, to hide them.

I was planning on running an extra line of 6-8 swtitches

You're not talking about a second line, just double stitch in order to trap the existing stitches. This may not work out as you planned and if your new stitches won't match the old, it will stand out like a wart on your nose. I might suggest restitching the whole thing. ....
Be Safe !!!
