hand-sewing techniques

Hand-sewing involves using a needle and thread to join fabric pieces or repair textiles. Techniques include running stitch for quick seams, backstitch for strong, durable joins, and hemming to finish edges smoothly. The process typically involves threading a needle, tying a knot at the end of the thread, and carefully passing the needle through fabric stitches while maintaining even tension. Hand-sewing allows precise control, ideal for delicate, detailed work or small repairs. masters learn to adjust stitch length, tension, and angles to achieve professional results and ensure the longevity of sewn items.
