sewing techniques

Ways to stitch

Sewing techniques are the methods used to join fabric, create seams, and construct garments or other textile items.

Basic techniques include straight stitching, hemming, and attaching buttons.

More advanced work involves pleating, gathering, inserting zippers, and finishing edges with serging or bias tape.
