Whether you have a sewing machine or not, there are stitches that you have to do by hand, yes or yes. Sewing by hand is a pleasure and it also makes a garment very, very, very special. Hand stitches are prettier and have more value, which is why the greatest and most outstanding designers finish and finish their garments with hand stitching. Today I will teach you how to make 5 basic stitches that you should know to sew by hand, which will also help you make clothes for yourself or your children if you do not yet have your sewing machine or if your sewing machine is in poor condition. #sewbyhand #basicstitches #withluzkita #learnwithme #learnwithluzkitafromhome #learnfromhome #learningwithluzkita 1. BASKING STITCH (basting) The basting stitch is used to temporarily hold two pieces of fabric before testing and putting them on the machine. 2. SERVET OR SCALLOP STITCH It is used as a decorative finish and to avoid fraying. 3. BACKSTITCH Backstitch is used to sew seams by hand and to finish off threads. Insert the needle and pull it out again 2 or 3 mm beyond the stitching line. Insert again at the starting point and pull the needle out 2 or 3 mm further, continuing always inserting the needle back and pulling it out forward. The stitches overlap on the wrong side, but form a continuous line on the right side. 4. INVISIBLE STITCH Especially for making hems or hems by hand on clothing or where invisible stitches are required!!! 5. PATECABRA STITCH OR SCAPULAR STITCH It is used to join the facings to the garment by hand or to fix simple hems when a flat finish is desired or the fabrics are thick. Work from left to right making a small horizontal stitch on the top layer and then another on the bottom layer, alternating as shown in the figure. Do not pull the thread too tight.
