How to hand sew a strong seam

[@klisterable]

Finally someone who doesn't find it necessary to explain how to thread the needle

[@salempunnett8377]

lol

[@jjyay2077]

Step one, bust out a can of all purpose beeswax.

The fact that I’ve accidentally stumbled upon a curtain channel just made my day

[@rainnnnn28]

This is helpful. Now I can make a pencil case without the seam falling apart. Thank you.

[@curtainideas]

Yes this way of sewing a seam will work on anything where you don't want the seam to pull open easily. The smaller the stitches the stronger the seam.

[@Forcedminer]

3:05 ohhhh......loop the threat three times to ensure it doesn't come undone... I've had never thought of that...

[@8BitMastery]

I'm making a shirt, but this is still somewhat relevant. Thanks.

[@obscurecult]

+8BitMastery did you do your shirt by hand? I wanna try that and would love to know if it works out!

[@mskarolyn814]

Your examples are great and easy to understand.

[@drewdixon210]

This is perfect for my fursuit tail. I’ll defiantly check out other stuff here

[@sarahloujew]

[@KayOvercoming]

[@mergirl247]

I wanted to make a mermaids tail. Very thorough instruction:) I hope this will work.;)

[@draechaeli]

[@knack2086]

[@laru09]

[@HartleyMichael0518]

I'm trying to add a pocket to my backpack and this is just what I needed

[@Adriana-so5jn]

your video was so helpful thank you so much!! ♥♥

[@the_teacher_luna]

Can I use this stitch for a full garment? My sewing machine has broken down and I need to sew my graduation gown.

[@sandrawright8719]

What size needle and thread are you using. I have a front jean pocket project that needs hand sewing. Thanks

[@laquita6698]

really helped me out on my project

[@leianneliese]

What is this stitch called? Is it a type of back stitch?

[@BosmerMage01]

This is definitely my fave stitch :3

[@tamila7381]

I use this stich when I hand sew dresses but I use stitches that are 1/16 of an inch. these stitches seem a bit large. however you have done a great job!

[@ChildOfAnAndroid]

Curtains are much larger than dresses and are put under less stress.

[@tamila7381]

Charis M that is true, I didn't think about that.

[@natasyaizaiedy7068]

Thank u

[@lucaj3937]

I use this to make my Tshirts more fitted :D

[@sdorleans94]

can you use this seam for making a dress?

[@savtasunny7815]

That is a very slow way to make a back stitch!

[@kurapikakurta3863]

True. I do mine with the other side up.

[@gary2187]

Can i use this to sow together seams on joggers??

[@Lexgamer]

I dont understand how to start/finish. I have a string threaded, and knotted on both ends, pull it through but the knot typically doesnt catch, much less going back and forth, also, it's hard to tell for sure in the video because it's low resolution, but it looks like he's pulling 2 threads through at once?

[@ChildOfAnAndroid]

Essentially the knot wont catch, you have to catch it. Hold it in place whilst you create approximately 3-5 stitches over the top of each other, this holds it in place and you can now start the backstitch as shown here.

[@donghaekey8]

Thank You :D

[@mixaleena]

First stitch. "We are going to go forward about quarter of an inch". Proceeds 3/4 of an inch! 😂😆🤣

[@IamNemoN01]

I can't stand messy looking stitches. I've taken to making a straight line on my fabric with a straight-edge (or ruler) and pen or pencil. Then I can always hit the line perfectly.

[@AnnieOhhAnniee]

GREAT TUTORIAL! LOVVVEEEE IT!

[@queenpig]

thanks

[@Sourcelighteer]

How come you only used a little bit of thread? You tied two ends together to make the knot right? How do you judge how much you'd need and what do you do if you didn't get enough thread the first try? I'm completely new to needle/thread crafting. I'm trying to make a shirt for a doll from 2 pieces of fabric

[@lovedrreid1]

SourceLight it's easier to use only a small amount at a time because after each stitch you have to pull a lot of thread through, and depending on what thread it is, it can get wound up and knotted when pulling through. I am new to hand sewing as well and had the same question. I found out the hard way. If you don't end up having enough thread, you can always just tie some more to the end or end your stitch by knotting and starting a new line.
