SEWING PROCESS IV

How to sew a seam using a single stitch

Sewing a seam using a single stitch, such as a basic running stitch, involves joining two pieces of fabric together with a series of evenly spaced stitches.

Materials Needed:

- Two pieces of fabric

- Needle

- Thread

- Scissors

- Pins (optional)

- Iron (optional)

Steps:

  1. Prepare the Fabric:

   - Align the edges of the two pieces of fabric you want to join, with the right sides (the sides that will be on the outside when finished) facing each other.

   - Pin the edges together to keep them aligned, if necessary.

  1. Thread the Needle:

   - Cut a length of thread, typically about 18-24 inches to avoid tangling.

   - Thread the needle and tie a knot at the end of the thread.

  1. Start the Seam:

   - Begin at one end of the fabric edge. Push the needle through both layers of fabric from the inside (the wrong side) to the outside (the right side), pulling the thread through until the knot stops it.

  1. Sew the Running Stitch:

   - Insert the needle back into the fabric about 1/8 to 1/4 inch from where it came out, passing through both layers of fabric.

   - Push the needle back up through both layers about the same distance ahead.

   - Continue this pattern, creating a series of small, even stitches along the edge of the fabric.

  1. Finish the Seam:

   - When you reach the end of the seam, make a few backstitches (stitches taken back over the last few stitches) to secure the thread.

   - Push the needle to the wrong side of the fabric and tie a knot close to the fabric to secure the end.

   - Cut off any excess thread.

  1. Press the Seam (Optional):

   - Open the fabric pieces so the right sides are facing up.

   - Use an iron to press the seam allowances (the fabric edges next to the seam) open or to one side, depending on your preference and the type of project.
