No sewing machine?
No worry.You can learn how to do the machine stitch with hand sewing here. The hand sewing's machine stitch is as strong as the ordinary stitch from sewing machine.
Let's show you how to sew it. I will demonstrate with the embroidery thread. This thread is thick so the stitches will show up better for you.
1. Thread your needle and knot the thread before start to stitch. Always make sure your thread is one side longer than the other side. The knot will be at the longer side.
2. Begin the stitch by poking your threaded needle up through the fabric.
3. The knot will be at the wrong side of fabric.
4. Always start your machine seam with one back stitch. Now poke the needle back down through the fabric next to where you just came up, and pull the thread to the wrong side of fabric.
5. Make sure your thread is always one side longer than the other side while sewing. You are sewing with the longer side of thread.
6. After started with a back stitch, now is the time for you to do the running stitch. Poke your needle up through the fabric, leaving a space from the previous back stitch.
7. Then poke the needle down through the fabric again making your first running stitch.
8. Poke the needle up and down through the fabric again making your second running stitch.
9. to 10. After the third running stitch, poke the needle up and down through the fabric making your back stitch.
11. Look at the seam. Your started with a back stitch. Then continue with the "three running stitches and one back stitch".
12. Keep repeat doing the "three running stitches and one back stitch".
13. Now just continue this and you are on your way! See how easy this stitch is?Always finish your machine seam with a back stitch. After that back stitch, finishing with a knot!
14. to 15. The seam holds the fabric pieces together so well, just like you sewed with the machine!
