BASIC HAND

STITCHES
 Sewing the basic hand
stitches can be very easy
if you learn each step
thoroughly before you

TRODUC start practicing the next

IN TI step. Sewing by hand is a
O skill that most, if not all,
N people should probably
attempt to master at
some point.
 BACK STITCH
Make one running stitch, then
take a back stitch to the
beginning of the first stitch,
thus overlapping each running
stitch. This stitch resembles
machine stitching and is used
to strengthen a seam made by
hand.
 BASTING
This is used to hold fabric
temporarily in place, until
permanently stitched. There
are four types of basting; hand
basting, machine basting, pin
basting, and basting edges
with an iron.
RUNNING STITCH
This is also referred to as
Straight Stitch, is one of the
basic hand sewing and
embroidery technique on
which most other forms of
stitching and embroidery are
based.
 OUTLINE STITCH
This stitch is similar to the
back stitch but it is slanted.
Make one slanted backstitch in
front of another letting each
one overlap the one before it
just a little bit, until the design
is filled.
BLANKET STITCH
A blanket stitch is a straight
stitch with one perpendicular
stitch added in to create a
decorative and secure seam.
 CATCH STITCH
This is used for a flat finish
next to fabric, such as seam
binding on a hem. Hold open
hem edge away from you,
working from left to right.
 CHAIN STITCH
A decorative sewing style in
which each stitch is connected
to the next so that they form a
chain.
