• Trimming the thread with sharp scissors and soaking the end of the thread will make it easier for the thread to pass through the needle hole. If you cannot, the thread may be too big or the needle is too small.

Method 2 of 3: Stitch the First Line

1. 

   Pierce the needle through the left side of the fabric. This means puncture the needle from the side of the fabric that you can't see. Pull out the needle with the thread (you may need a little extra force to do this), up to the knot. If the knot is pulled over the fabric, tie a larger knot.
   • The reason you start with the left side is so that the knotted part is not on the right side of the fabric or garment (the face clearly sees the pattern).
   • If the knot passes through the fabric, there are several causes:
     • You need a bigger knot
     • Your needle may be too large, creating a hole in the fabric that is equal to or larger than the knot that causes the knot to pass through the fabric.
     • You may be pulling the thread too hard to make the knot pass through the fabric

2. 

   
   
   Pierce the needle through the right side of the cloth. Then, insert the needle through the left side near where you originally stitched it. Pull all the thread over until you feel the tension. You just stitched the first stitch on the right side! Congratulation! Doesn't it look like a dash?
   • The stitches are tight enough to lie flat on the fabric, but don't be too tight as this will cause the fabric to shrink.

3. 

   Repeat these two steps. Always insert the needle into the left side of the fabric in the position close to the stitches. Pull out the thread and this is your second stitch. Continue stitching, making sure the stitches are equal.
   • Usually, the stitches will lie in a straight line, just like using a computer typewriter like this:
     - - - - - -
     • Stitching with wide intervals between each stitch is called comb stitching. This is often used to hold pieces of fabric together or to connect fabrics.

4. 

   
   
   Finish by pricking the needle through the right side of the cloth. You have completed! The needle and thread will be on the left side, you will end up stitching with another knot. Tie the knot tightly against the fabric or the stitches will move and loosen.
   • In addition, there is another way. You can insert the needle to the right side but loosen it to create a loop on the left side. Next, insert the needle to the left side again, close to the nose you just stitched. Pull tight so that there is no loop on that side, but keep the original loop. Pierce the needle through the thread ring and tie the knot. The ring is used to hold the thread above the fabric. Pierce the needle through the loop just twice to be sure.

Method 3 of 3: Set Other Stitches

1. 

   Practice quick stitches. The combing described above is a good way to get started. However, the longer the stitches, the easier it is to tear and reveal the thread.
   • Comb stitches have long stitches - firmer stitches are of medium or short length. When the needle is inserted from the right side to the left side of the cloth, the next stitch is as close as possible to the previous stitch.

2. 

   
   
   Zig-zag stitching. These are forward and back stitches and are used when stitches are stitched inappropriately, such as embroidery or sewn stitches. This can also be used when temporarily stitching two edges together. Stitches that look like zigzag shapes (hence the name) can be long, medium, or short.
   • The sunken stitch is a variation of zigzag stitching. This type is also known as "concealed stitching". Similar to zigzag stitching, but this type of stitch also has regular straight stitches. This stitch is used to create a hidden border; It is a complete stitch because the new zig-zag stitch is concentrated only on the right side of the cloth. The fewer stitches, the less the stitch is exposed.

3. 

   Sew two pieces of fabric together. In this technique, place the two pieces of fabric so that the left side is facing each other (the right side is facing the same direction). Straighten the edges of the fabric that you want to join. Sew a line along the edge of the fabric.
   • After stitching, open the two pieces of fabric. They will be joined together by the stitching you just made, but the seams will be exposed. So, it is better to sew the nose hidden.

4. 

   Patch. Patching a torn spot is not too difficult. Just pinch the edges of the tear together on the inside (left side of the cloth). Sew the edges together in one line. Use short stitches (there are no gaps between stitches) to avoid leaks. advertisement

Advice

• Use wet mouth only to easily penetrate the needle hole.
• If you are new to sewing, use threads that are almost the same color as the fabric, not the same color, so you can see the stitches and remove the threads if necessary.
• Try to choose the color only with the fabric color so that if you make a mistake it will be harder to see.

Warning

• Accidents can happen. Use a hand guard if you don't want the needle to be pricked in your hands!
