Lesson 8:
Practicing seam or stitch
Take 20" square cloth and fold into half. And practice following stitches to get lines equally.
1 plain seam - straight single line
2 plain seam with 1/4 inch gaps. Which is used to remove stitches if we want to loosen it after
3 double seam - straight stitch done just next to each other with no gaps. Which is done to strengthen the line.
4. W stitch - stitch done cross with 1/4 gap. Which is done on dresses to get loose only on bottom end or only on top.
5 draw wave lines and try to stitch on line and practice.
6 same wave stitch stitching adjusent to each other.
7 square stitch- keep the needle on the cloth at the edge point of line and turn the cloth and start to stitch.
8 Back or reverse stitch - on every line of stitch start with reverse stitch and end with reverse stitch around 1/2" aprox. This will stop from stitches getting removed.
9 zigzag stitch - practice same as straight stitch in line and wave.
This is used to do applique works or in pillow cover sides.
10 zigzag overlocking - keeping 2 cloths together sew zigzag stitch at sides 1point should stitch on cloth and other point should stitch outside cloth. Which will protect uneven fabric threads from coming away.
