Hand stitching and their types
Before you begin to study the types of joints and let's get acquainted with the basic concepts used during sewing. And to cope with this task will help us is such a simple scheme:
So, a seam is the place where certain parts were connected. All hand stitches consist of stitches, which in turn are divided into stitches.
Stitch length is the distance between its start and end. And the width of the seam is the distance between the cut of the part and the stitching.
According to their purpose, all hand stitches are divided into two types:

How to perform the loop stitch
As you know, the embroidery stitches aredifferent, but usually most people use conventional looped stitches. Our small master class will tell you how you can manually perform the loop stitch:
Loop stitch for embroidery
First, bring the thread to the “face” at point “A”, andthen through point “B” return to the wrong side and again stick the needle out to the front side at point “C”. Please note that your thread should be under the needle
Next, you will need to pull the thread forward so that it lies tightly on the fabric, but does not “warp” it.
Then, at point “D”, insert the needle to the wrong side and return back to the front side, using point “E” for this. You need to do all this so that the thread is under the needle.
Gently pull the thread forward and continue stitching in the same way.
When you decide to finish your buttonhole stitch you will need to return the needle to the wrong side immediately after you complete the last stitch.
Having done this, you will need to pull the thread forward so that it forms a straight stitch and secure it.
Loop stitch for finishing edges
Insert the thread at point “A” through the fold.
Insert the needle through point “B” directly below the hem, so that the thread is under the needle, the point of which is located behind the edge of the material.
Pull the thread forward, insert the needle into point “C” and make another loop. Do not forget that this must be done so that the thread is under the needle.
In this way you will need to do the necessarynumber of stitches. Once you have finished hand stitching the edge of the garment, you will need to pass the needle over the resulting loop so that it passes through the fold. After this, you can carefully pull the thread and secure it.
Please note that there are different ways to embroider a buttonhole stitch:
- hinge, or as it is called - the edge seam can be usual or more frequent;
- height loopy seam stitches can be different, moreover they may be arranged in groups and be of various shapes or orientation;
- if you execute smooth or scalloped edge products that you can use to strengthen them and give them some convexity hinge seam on the deck.

The most popular hand-stitched
Beginners is quite difficult to understand the variety of hand joints. But our master class will help you learn the most basic and commonly used hand-stitched:
Let's start with the fact that our master class will tell you about some of the features of the "Goat" seam:
- first note that this suture needle moves forward only from left to right;
- further aspect, this seamIt is that the "Goat" can be carried out not only solid, but also colored thread in several rows. Therefore, the "Goat" is often called the "Scottish" or "velvet".
We now proceed directly to the technique of execution of the seam. Here is a small scheme that will help you to quickly and easily master the "Goat":
“Goat” seam In this diagram above you see the numbered sequence of all stitches. And here’s what the “Goat” stitches look like if they are made in several rows:
Double “Goat” Now let’s move on to studying the “Herringbone” seam. I would immediately like to note the fact that the “Herringbone” can be regular or double:
Please note that the Herringbone stitch can not only be used for sewing, but also for embroidery. This seam is most often used for hemming, but in embroidery it is considered decorative.
Herringbone stitch
Double Herringbone Stitch A regular herringbone stitch is made using a straight stitch to the side, and then slightly back and down. In this case, the loop should be under the needle.
Kettel stitch If you decide to make a double “Herringbone”, then you will need to first make 2 stitches in one direction, and then the same number in the opposite direction, as it looks in the diagram.
"Kettel stitch" is usually used forin order to attach some additional detail to the main fabric. It is often used to secure the loops of the last row, as well as sew on trims or pockets.
This is what the “Kettel seam” looks like in the photo:

There are various ways of cross stitching, but we will look at perhaps the simplest of them:
- First you will need to perform a series of oblique stitches with a slight tilt to the right. At the same time on the wrong side, you can see a number consisting of vertical stitches;
- then you will need to, as it were, go back and do crisscrossing stitches.
Let's look at how cross stitch looks from the front and back sides:
Cross stitch is quite simple and many of us remember it from school. However, with the help of such an elementary “cross” you can create real masterpieces.
I would also like to say a few words about how to properly use backstitch in embroidery. Typically, backstitch is used to highlight the contours of the finished embroidery.
Backstitch is quite easy to sew with: 2 stitches forward and 1 stitch back. All stitches should be sewn in the same direction and have the same length.
