- 2. 1. Running Stitch ◦Abasic stitch where you bring the needle in and out of the fabric, producing a dashed line. The stitches can be of equal length or they can alternate with a small stitch on the front of the fabric and a longer stitch on the back. It’s the same as a basting stitch, except it is sewn more tightly to create a secure and permanent bind.
- 3. Uses: oBasic seam stitching oGatheringfabric (e.g., for pleats or ruffles) oQuick basting to hold fabric together temporarily
- 5. 2. Basting Stitch ◦Abasting stitch is one of the simplest stitches in sewing, used to temporarily hold together two pieces of fabric. Think of it as a “rough draft” later replaced by a more secure and permanent stitch. t is done quickly with a simple over/under motion, resulting in a long, loose stitch easily removed at least ¼ inch long.
- 6. Uses: oTemporary holding offabric pieces together before machine stitching oMarking hems oHolding pleats or folds in place temporarily
- 8. 3. Back Stitch ◦Theback stitch is a variation of the running stitch, but with each needle pass, the needle and thread doubles back on itself. This eliminates the visible spacing – the dashed effect – seen in the running stitch and instead creates a more polished straight line of thread on the fabric’s surface.
- 9. Uses: oStrong seams forhand-stitched garments oRepairs on seams where strength is needed, such as on jeans or heavy fabrics oMending holes or tears in fabric
- 11. 4. Catch Stitch ◦Acatch stitch, or cross-stitch, is a standard sewing technique for hemming. The use of this stitch creates a zig-zag series of X’s on the underside of a piece of fabric. Strong and flexible, these stitches are barely visible on the outside of a garment and offer a clean finish for raw edges.
- 12. Uses: oEmbroidery for creatingintricate designs oDecorative hand stitching on clothing, home décor, or accessories
- 14. 5. Blanket Stitch Astitch used to finish raw edges. After anchoring your thread, stab the top of the fabric a short distance from the edge. As you push the needle through the fabric, loop the thread from the previous stitch under the needle. Create small stitches perpendicular to the edge, forming loops along the fabric edge.
- 15. Uses: oFinishing raw edges,especially on felt or fleece oDecorative edging on blankets, appliqué, or other craft projects
- 17. 6. Overcast Stitch ◦Abasic stitch used to keep raw edges from fraying. Wrap the thread over the fabric’s edge and stab the fabric from behind, forming a diagonal stitch.
- 19. 7. Blind Hem It’sperfect for hemming and mending, especially because it’s nearly invisible. The purpose with this stitch is to either sew two pieces of fabric together or sewing the hem.

- 22. 1. French Knots ◦Thisdecorative stitch makes a pretty accent design throughout your project. First, bring the needle and floss up through the fabric. Then wrap the floss around the needle twice or more. Hold the end of the floss and bring the needle down just next to the space where it came through the fabric.
- 24. 2. Chain Stitch ◦Workthe stitches towards you starting from the top of the line. Bring the thread out to the right side of fabric. Insert needle in fabric at the same point, holding the thread down with your left thumb. Bring the needle point out a short distance ahead and pull it through, keeping the working thread under the needle. The result is a loop. In starting the next stitch remember to insert the needle just inside the loop.
- 26. 3. Satin Stitch ◦This is a filling stitch used to cover regular or irregular shaped spaces. Bring the needle out at the starting point on the right side and take a stitch carrying the thread across the design and bringing the needle back very close to the starting point. Continue in this manner keeping the stitches even and very close together. When a raised effect is desired pad the space to be covered with small running stitches worked perpendicular to the direction in which the satin stitches are to be applied.
- 28. 4. Stem Stitch ◦Isanother basic stitch that's perfect for creating smooth outlines. It works well for straight lines and curves, and despite its name, it isn't only for embroidering stems. Use a stem stitch on just about any line in your stitching.
- 30. 5. Feather Stitch ◦isa linked stitch that creates open lines that almost look like they're moving. It's perfect for making frames and borders and works well layered or embellished with other stitches. ◦The look of feather stitch makes it good for stitching seaweed, foliage, feathers, or scales, and the variations make it possible to embroider many natural designs.
- 32. 6. Bullion Knot ◦Bullionknot as a really long French knot that can make gorgeous roses.

- 35. Cross-stitch ◦Is a formof sewing and a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in which X- shaped stitches called cross stitches in a tiled, raster-like pattern are used to form a picture.
