4 manual seams that everyone should know
4 hand stitches that everyone needs to know.
Knowing how to perform these seams, it will be possible to repair almost any torn thing.
First seam.
Called "straight seam." Used for basting.
For example, you need to sew exactly the two edges of this fabric. Before you start sewing them, you first need to sweep them together so that they do not move relative to each other during the sewing process.
Two pieces of fabric stacked in the desired position. Now they need to sweep.
I take a needle with a thread. At the end of the knot. I pierce the top of the hole in the fabric with a needle, and after a few millimeters I bring the needle out through a new puncture. Behind her pull the thread. I repeat the operation. This results in basting stitches. This type of suture is auxiliary and usually temporary. After the product is sewn, the thread is pulled out and the seam is removed.
Straight seam can be done faster. It is necessary to do several punctures at the same time collecting the fabric in the harmonica, and then pulling the needle and pulling the thread.
The seam is second.
This seam is called "looped seam" or "obmetochny seam."
This is the cut edge of the fabric. They will bloom, and they will climb thread. To prevent this from happening, an overlay stitch is used.
How is it done?
I pierce the fabric and pull the needle with the thread. I transfer the needle again to the front side and make a puncture again in the same hole.
Next, lay out the thread loop. Retreat a few millimeters from the first puncture and do the second. A needle and thread passes through the fabric and through the laid loop. I tighten, and the first stitch turns out. All subsequent stitches do the same.
This seam overcast the edges of the fabric.
What it looks like.
There are even stitches, interconnected at the end of the fabric where it is dissolved. Now the end of this fabric, processed with the help of a stitch seam, will not open.
Of course, the more often you do stitches while sewing, the better and safer the seam will be.
Suture third.
Called "manual line" or "back needle." This seam simulates a machine seam, and visually does not differ from it.
For example, I will use a piece of cloth. Sewing lines are usually drawn using soap or chalk. For me, this is not critical, so I will draw a line for myself with a ballpoint pen. I will sew a “back needle” seam along this line.
How is it done?
I pierce the fabric from the wrong side to the front. The length of the stitches I will do about 3-4 millimeters. I retreat 4 mm back from the first puncture and make the second puncture, bringing the needle and thread to the wrong side. The first stitch turned out. From the seamy side I retreat 4 millimeters forward from the first puncture and draw out a needle and thread on the front side.
And now the needle comes back and pushed into the first puncture hole. It turns out the second stitch.
According to this algorithm, I sew all the other stitches.
This stitch can be sewn faster. For this you need to wield a needle only from the front of the fabric. I stick a needle into the previous hole and, having bent a fabric, at once I bring it to the front side in the place of a forward puncture under a new stitch.
It turns out such a seam imitating the machine line.
From the reverse side, the look of this seam is inconspicuous, therefore, the reverse side of such a seam should always be on the wrong side of the thing.
Fourth stitch.
Called secret seam. This seam is useful if the item that has spread along the seam cannot be sewn from the wrong side due to the lack of access to it. The effect of this seam is that it is sewn from the front of the thing, and ends up on the wrong side of the product.
Here is what this seam looks like on a plane.
How to sew a secret seam.
A needle is put under the seam allowance and the thread is pulled.
Stitches are made alternately on both sides and perpendicular to each other.
I made one puncture, I make the second puncture on the opposite side clearly opposite the first one.
Now I make a small stitch and stretch the thread. Again I turn to the opposite side and make a new puncture perpendicular to the existing one.
Need to pierce through the fold of the material.
The smaller the stitches, the more inconspicuous the seam will be.
After several stitches have been made, you need to pull the thread and the seam pulls together, and the threads will hide inside.
And this is how the entire seam is stitched.
At the end of the thread is fixed and cut off.
Knowing these four stitches will always help with the repair of torn clothing and will help to give it an original look.
