How to sew by hand - Sewing technical tutorial
Slip stitches are hand-sewn stitches used to close openings, hems, or bias bindings, creating an almost invisible seam by stitching alternately on one edge and then on the opposite edge.
They provide a neat finish and avoid the use of a machine topstitch that may be too visible.
To begin, thread a short, fairly fine needle with a thread that matches the color of the fabric.
- Stitch the edge of the fabric to be closed from the outside to the inside.
- Stitch the opposite edge from the inside to the outside.
- Pull the thread to form the first stitch.
- Repeat the previous steps, making evenly spaced stitches.
This method ensures a refined finish and is a great way to create a neat, professional look without visible machine stitching.
