Hand stitching is the process of sewing fabric together using a needle and thread without the aid of a sewing machine. It involves manually passing the needle through the fabric to create stitches that hold pieces of material securely. This technique is often used for fine details, repairs, or custom work where precision and control are important. Different stitch types, like running stitch or backstitch, serve various purposes. Hand stitching offers a personal touch and allows for better craftsmanship, making it ideal for tailoring, embroidery, and delicate projects.
