Basic Hand Stitches

This document provides instructions for several basic hand stitches: - The back stitch resembles machine stitching and is used to strengthen seams. - Basting is used to temporarily hold fabric in place until permanent stitching and can be done by hand, machine, pins, or iron. - The running stitch is made by pushing the needle in and out of the fabric to make even stitches. - The outline stitch is a slanted backstitch that overlaps the previous stitch. - The blanket stitch is made by putting the needle through the fabric edge and under the thread to make a decorative edge.

BASIC

HAND
STITCH
Back Stitch
Make one running stitch, then
take a back stitch to the
beginning of the first stitch,
thus overlapping each
running stitch. Resembles
machine stitching and is used
to strengthen a seam made
by hand.
Basting
Basting is quite
important in successful
sewing. 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
To make this stitch, push point
of needle in and out of fabric
until you have several stitches
on the needle. Hold fabric
taut with left hand, pull the
needle through. Practice until
you make fine even stitches.
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
Put your needle in 1/4
inch from the edge of
the fabric, put the
thread under the point
of the needle and pull
through.
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,
work from left to right, Take a stitch in
the hem, then a tiny stitch to the right
just beyond edge of hem with the
point of needle to the left. This makes
diagonal lined that cross each other.
Chain Stitch
Insert the needle in and out
of the fabric (as in the
running stitch). Bring the
thread under the tip of the
needle while still in the
fabric, then pull the needle
through.
