BASTING STICHES

Basting is a temporary straight


Stitch used to hold layers together until
a final stitch is sewn. Since it's a long,
loose stitch, a basting stitch removes
easily after sewing is complete.

RUNNING STICHES

Running stitch is the most basic


and most commonly used stitch, in
which the needle and thread simply
pass over and under two pieces of
fabric. It’s exactly the same as a
basting stitch, except it is sewn
more tightly to create a secure and
permanent bind.

BACK STICHES

A stitch sewn one stitch length backward


on the front side and two stitch lengths
forward on the reverse side to form a
solid line of stitching on both sides.
SPLIT STICHES

A split stitch is similar to a backstitch,


but the needle comes to the surface
within the previous stitch and splits the
thread use to make the stitch.

BUTTONHOLE STICHES
Buttonhole stitches are used to
make stems in crewel embroidery, to
make sewn eyelets, to attach applique
to ground fabric, and as couching
stitches.

HERRINGBONE STICHES
A herringbone stitch is needlework
stitch used in embroidery, knitting, and
crochet. It is a stitch that creates a fabric
pattern that closely resembles a
herringbone pattern, or herringbone
cloth.
CROSS STICHES

a stitch in which pairs of diagonal


stitches of the same length cross each
other in the middle to form an X.
embroidery or needlepoint done with
this stitch to work in cross-stitch.

PLAIN SEAM

a basic seam sewn with right sides


together, a 5/8-inch seam
allowance, and stitching of 9-12
stitches per inch. Most other
seams start with a plain seam.

DOUBLE SEAM STICH


A Double-Stitched Seam is like a
Plain Seam, but a second Plain Seam
is sewn between the first and the raw
edges of the seam allowance in order to
provide a stronger seam for the fabrics
being sewn together as well as better keep
the fabric from fraying.
FRENCH SEAM STICH

French seams are sewn twice, encasing the raw edge


within the seam and creating a very neat, delicate seam
that is ideal for sheer or lightweight fabrics. With wrong
sides together, pin the corresponding pieces. Using a
straight stitch, sew a seam at a 3/8" seam allowance.
