BASIC HAND STITCHES IN DRESSMAKING

1. BASIC HAND STITCHES

2. Back Stitch Running Stitch
Make one running
stitch, then take a
back stitch to the
beginning of
the first stitch, thus
overlapping each
running stitch.
To make this stitch, push
point of needle in and out
of fabric until you have
several stitches on the
needle.

3. Basting
 Basting is quite
important in successful
sewing. This is used to
hold fabric temporarily
in place, until
permanently stitched.
Outline Stitch
 This stitch is similar
to the back stitch
but it is slanted.

4. 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.

5. Chain Stitch
 Insert the needle in
and out of the
fabric (as in the
running stitch).
 SUBMIT YOUR OUTPUT IN A LONG
CONSTRUCTION PAPER WITH
ARTISTIC EFFECT.
