List Of Sewing Stitches
This is a list of stitch (textile arts), stitches used in hand and sewing machine, machine sewing. The most common standard for stitches in the Clothing, apparel industry is ASTM International ASTM D6193-16(2020) The standard also covers various types of Seam (sewing), seams. Under this classification of stitches there are basic groups as follows: * Class 100 - Single Thread Chainstitch * Class 200 - Hand Stitches * Class 300 - Lock Stitch * Class 400 - Multi-thread Chain Stitch * Class 500 - Over-edge Chain Stitch * Class 600 - Covering Chain Stitch Examples of machine stitches *Chain stitch *Lockstitch *Zigzag stitch *Running stitch *Back stitch *Satin stitch *Overlock, Overlock stitch Types of hand stitches *Backstitch, Back tack – backward stitch to anchor tacking or basting *Backstitch – sturdy hand stitch for seams and decoration *Tack (sewing), Basting stitch (US) – for reinforcement or for temporarily holding fabric in place (same as tacking stitch) *Blanket stit ...

Hand Sewing Stitches
A hand is a prehensile, multi-fingered appendage located at the end of the forearm or forelimb of primates such as humans, chimpanzees, monkeys, and lemurs. A few other vertebrates such as the Koala#Characteristics, koala (which has two thumb#Opposition and apposition, opposable thumbs on each "hand" and fingerprints extremely similar to human fingerprints) are often described as having "hands" instead of paws on their front limbs. The raccoon is usually described as having "hands" though opposable thumbs are lacking. Some evolutionary anatomists use the term ''hand'' to refer to the appendage of digits on the forelimb more generally—for example, in the context of whether the three Digit (anatomy), digits of the bird hand involved the same Homology (biology), homologous loss of two digits as in the dinosaur hand. The human hand usually has five digits: Finger numbering#Four-finger system, four fingers plus one thumb; however, these are often referred to collectively as Finger ...

Blind Stitch
A blind stitch in sewing is a method of joining two pieces of fabric so that the stitch thread is invisible (or nearly invisible) during the normal use of the finished product. Blind stitching uses a folded edge of the fabric to hide the stitches; therefore, this type of stitch can be used to create a blind hem or to join two folded edges together. Blind hem stitches are completely hidden when the garment is viewed from the outside, and almost completely hidden on the inside as well. The sewer catches only a few threads of the fabric each time the needle is pulled through the fabric, which means that the majority of the stitching is hidden inside the hem. Blind stitching is useful when joining two folded edges together, as the thread is only visible when the folded material is pulled away. This technique allows the sewer to invisibly attach pockets, facings and trimmings to a garment. A slip stitch or catch stitch can be used to create the blind stitch, except that they are wo ...

Stoating
Stoating, sometimes written stoting or stotting, is a type of stitching made to join two pieces of woven material, with raw edges placed together, such that the resulting stitches are not visible from the right side of the cloth. Stoating is accomplished by passing the needle only halfway through the pieces of material to be stoated, using a very fine needle and thread, such as silk, or even hair. Stitches would be drawn from side to side across the opening to be sewn closed, in a pattern resembling a zig-zag or the rungs of a ladder. Stoating may be used on heavier fabrics, such as felt and some types of tweed, or fabrics that will not fray easily. Stoating would also be used in place of seaming on heavy furs A fur is a soft, thick growth of hair that covers the skin of almost all mammals. It consists of a combination of oily guard hair on top and thick underfur beneath. The guard hair keeps moisture from reaching the skin; the underfur acts as an .... When completed, the j ...

Running Stitch
The straight or running stitch is the basic Stitch (textile arts), stitch in hand-sewing and embroidery, on which all other forms of sewing are based. The stitch is worked by passing the Sewing needle, needle in and out of the textile, fabric at a regular distance. All other stitches are created by varying the straight stitch in length, spacing, and direction. Some sources only use the term straight stitch to refer to the individual stitch or its family of related stitches, while others use it interchangeably with or in place of running stitch. Running stitch will never be used to refer to a single stitch since a single running stitch is a straight stitch. Running stitches are most often not visible as they are used to close Seam (sewing), seams. Running stitch, Holbein stitch, Holbein or double-running stitch, satin stitch and darning stitch are all classed as straight or flat stitches. Backstitch is also sometimes included in this category.Enthoven, Jacqueline: ''The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Saddle Stitch
Saddle stitch is a hand-sewing stitch commonly used in bookbinding, saddle and bridle making, leathercraft, and shoemaking. Structure Saddle stitch uses two threads in alternating running stitches through a single line of holes. The holes may be created by the sewing needles themselves in lighter materials, or by an awl, pricking iron, or stitching iron in thicker materials, such as leather. Compared to the more common lockstitch A lockstitch is the most common mechanical stitch (textile arts), stitch made by a sewing machine. The term "single needle stitching", often found on dress shirt labels, refers to lockstitch. Structure The lockstitch uses two Thread (yarn), th ... often sewn by machine, breaking one side of a saddle stitch loosens only one side of the stitch, rather than several surrounding stitches on both sides. Standardization One variant of the saddle stitch, with threads running parallel, rather than twisting, is designated stitch number 201 by ISO ...

Pick Stitch
A pick stitch in sewing is a simple running stitch that catches only a few threads of the fabric, showing very little of the thread on the right side (outer side) of the garment. It is also sometimes known as "stab stitch". A pick stitch can be made from either the inside of the garment or the outside, depending upon how much thread is meant to show on the outside of the garment. A pick stitch is commonly used for making hems, although it is also used with contrasting thread to create a decorative finish on some garments. It has decorative uses in embroidery. It is exceedingly useful for inserting zips and is strong. Many home-sewers and new dressmakers find this much easier than inserting zips by sewing machine. A pick stitch along the outside of a lapel is a hallmark of a "high-end, hand-made" men's suit or blazer. A finely made pick stitch is difficult to accomplish but can be achieved with practice.

Pad Stitch
Pad stitches are a type of running stitch made by placing small stitches perpendicular to the line of stitching. Pad stitches secure two or more layers of fabric together and give the layers more firmness; smaller and denser stitches create more firmness. They may also be used to enforce an overall curvature of the layers. Tailors pad stitch a jacket's lapel A lapel ( ) is a folded flap of cloth on the front of a jacket or coat below the collar. It is most commonly found on formal clothing and suit jackets. Usually it is formed by folding over the front edge of the jacket or coat and sewing it to t ... and undercollar to give them additional firmness, and maintain their curvature. The line of stitching usually runs parallel to the direction of the most important curve of the layers. For example, pad stitches in a suit's lapel run parallel to the lapel's roll line; pad stitches in the under collar of a tailored jacket run parallel to the collar's back edge. References Se ...

Overcast Stitch
Overcast stitch is a type of stitch used to enclose a raw, or unfinished, seam or edge. The purpose is to prevent unraveling of the fabric. Variations The hand overcast stitch involves small, evenly spaced diagonal stitches, binding the raw edge of the fabric. To create an overcast stitch with a sewing machine, an overcast foot or regular foot can be used. The overcast foot has an edge guide that helps the fabric to feed evenly along the edge and a bar in the middle that controls the stitch and makes it lay flat. Applications Overcast stitches may be reversible, as when they are used to join crochet block pieces of afghan blankets. There are several different kinds of overcast stitches. A straight overcast stitch is used for finishing edges in eyelets and cutwork Cutwork or cut work, also known as in Italian, is a needlework technique in which portions of a textile, typically cotton or linen, are cut away and the resulting "hole" is reinforced and filled with embroidery or ...

Ladder Stitch
A ladder stitch, or mattress stitch, is a stitch which can be used to invisibly close seams from the outside of the garment or item. It is primarily used to close seams on stuffed items, such as pillows, mattresses, down coats or stuffed toys, where, after the stuffing is added, there is no access to the back of the fabric Textile is an umbrella term that includes various fiber-based materials, including fibers, yarns, filaments, threads, and different types of fabric. At first, the word "textiles" only referred to woven fabrics. However, weaving is no .... It can also be used to repair split seams on these items or garments, or to alter clothing. Surgical suturing Ladder stitching can also be used in surgery sutures to close an incision in the skin. In this context it is called a running subcuticular suture or running subcuticular closure.

Hemstitch
Hemstitch or hem-stitch is a decorative drawn thread work or openwork hand-sewing technique for embellishing the hem of clothing or household linens. Unlike an ordinary hem, hemstitching can employ embroidery thread in a contrasting color so as to be noticeable. In hemstitching, one or more threads are drawn out of the fabric parallel and next to the turned hem, and stitches bundle the remaining threads in a variety of decorative patterns while securing the hem in place. Multiple rows of drawn thread work may be used.Dillmont (1884), p. 24Reader's Digest (1992), pp. 78–83 Hand hemstitching can be imitated by a hemstitching machine which has a piercer that pierces holes into the fabric and two separate needles that sew the hole open. There are also hemstitcher attachments for home sewing machine Diagram of a modern sewing machine Animation of a modern sewing machine as it stitches A sewing machine is a machine used to sew fabric and materials together with threa ...

Embroidery Stitch
In everyday language, a stitch in the context of embroidery or hand-sewing is defined as the movement of the embroidery Sewing needle, needle from the back of the fibre to the front side and back to the back side. The thread stroke on the front side produced by this is also called ''stitch''. In the context of embroidery, an embroidery stitch means one or more ''stitches'' that are always executed in the same way, forming a figure. Embroidery stitches are also called ''stitches'' for short. Embroidery stitches are the smallest units in embroidery. Embroidery patterns are formed by doing many embroidery stitches, either all the same or different ones, either following a counting chart on paper, following a design painted on the fabric or even working freehand. Common stitches Embroidery uses various combinations of stitches. Each embroidery stitch has a special name to help identify it. These names vary from country to country and region to region.

Darning
Darning is a sewing technique for repairing holes or worn areas in textile, fabric or knitting using sewing needle, needle and sewing thread, thread alone. It is often done by hand, but using a sewing machine is also possible. Hand darning employs the darning stitch, a simple running stitch in which the thread is "woven" in rows along the Glossary of sewing terms#grain, grain of the fabric, with the stitcher reversing direction at the end of each row, and then filling in the framework thus created, as if weaving. Darning is a traditional method for repairing fabric damage or holes that do not run along a seam, and where patching is impractical or would create discomfort for the wearer, such as on the heel of a sock. Darning also refers to any of several needlework techniques that are worked using darning stitches: *Pattern darning is a type of embroidery that uses parallel (geometry), parallel rows of straight stitches of different lengths to create a geometric design. *Net da ...
