    Lesson 6:

    Basic Hand
    Stitches
    Hand stitches have many uses. Before
    the sewing machine, garment-making
    was done exclusively by hand.
    Running Stitch
    - It is also called a straight stitch.
    - It is the basic stitch in hand-sewing and
    embroidery, on which all other forms of sewing
    are based.
    ­- The stitch is worked by passing the needle in
    and out of the fabric.
    - It is very closely related to basting stitch, but
    stitches are smaller and usually permanent.
    Outline Stitch
    - This stitch is used to mark outlines in an
    embroidery pattern.
    - It is a flexible stitch that can follow easy
    curves.
    Fig 1: Bring out the thread through A and take it in
    through B. Take the needle backward and bring the
    thread out through C. Make sure the point C lies
    under the stitch A-B.
    Fig 2: You need to note that the point C lies about
    halfway through A and B. Also note that C lies
    under the stitch A-B.
    Fig 3: Take the needle in through D. Try to mark D in
    such a way that the point B will lie halfway through
    C-D. Bring the needle out through B. The stitch point
    B will be at the bottom of the previous stitch.
    Back Stitch
    - It is a very strong, secure stitch.
    -  In embroidery, these stitches form lines and are
    most often used to outline shapes and to add fine
    detail to an embroidered picture.
    - It is also used to embroider lettering.
    - It is a utility stitch which strongly and
    permanently attaches two pieces of fabric.
    Fig 1: Bring the thread through A and take it in
    through B. This creates one stitch.
    Fig 2: Bring the thread through C and take it in
    through B. This way, we are creating a stich by
    taking the thread backward.
    Fig 3: Bring the thread through D and take it in
    through C. Continue this pattern to finish the
    design.
    Catch stitch
    - It is worked from left to right from one edge of
    the fabric to another creating an X-like
    formation.
    - It is a zig-zagged stitch that helps to prevent
    your fabric from fraying along the edges. 
    - This is used for a flat finish next to fabric, such
    as seam binding on a hem.
    Step 1.Working from left to right, insert the needle
    into the fold of the hem, between the layers so the
    knot is trapped inside the fold. Come out with the
    needle a little bit below the fold of the hem. For this
    example I folded the hem a 1/2″ and then another 1
    1/2″.
    Step 2:
    Pull the thread out of the hole so the knot is firmly
    placed on the inside of the hem and the thread is
    pulled taut.
    Step 3:
    Insert the needle just above the fold of the hem to
    the right of the thread on the hem, moving from
    right to left. Only catch a little bit of the fabric so a
    very tiny dot of thread is left on the right side of the
    garment.
    Step 4:
    Pull the needle through so the threads are going
    from the hem to the fabric at an angle to the right
    Step 5:
    Reinsert the needle into the hem, parallel to the first
    stitch on the hem, catching only the hem and not
    going through the garment fabric.
    Chain Stitch
    - It is a sewing and embroidery technique in which
    a series of looped stitches form a chain-like
    pattern. 
    - Chain stitch is an ancient craft – examples of
    surviving Chinese chain stitch embroidery
    worked in silk thread have been dated to the
    Warring States period.
    Fig 1: Bring the thread out through A. Put the
    needle back in A and bring it out through point B,
    but don’t pull the needle out completely.
    Fig 2: Now, take the thread around the needle from
    left to right to form a loop.
    Fig 3: Pull out the needle now to tighten the loop
    and you will get the first part of the chain.
    Fig 4: Now, put the needle in through B (now
    inside the loop) and bring it out on C (outside of the
    loop).
    Fig 5: Continue the action by taking the thread
    around the back of the needle from left to right to
    form a loop and pull out the needle to get the next
    loop of the chain. Keep on with this procedure till
    the finish.
