Your securing knot demonstration is garbage...
Thanks!

Thank you. I’m a 65 year old man and I am recently widowed. my wife took care of these things for me. Today I discovered I had a hole in the pocket of my favorite pants now thanks to your video I was able to fix it myself even though I’d give the world to have my wife here fixing it for me.
I am so sorry to hear that. I'm glad you found my video useful. Take care.
I hope you're doing well sir
Bless you. I hope you’re at peace today.
❤
Hope You're still here now
This comment just made me cry. Bless your heart sir. ❤
Now THIS is a proper beginners sewing tutorial. These stitches are literally the only thing I remember about 7th grade home economics.
Thanks for your comment 😊
7TH GRADE? Im in 4th grade and im learning sewing.-.
@@Jarpie you want a cookie?
I’m here for 7th grade home economics
i learned sewing in kindergarden 😳 but i dont remember ANYTHING
This video is pure genius. First the colored threads on a dark cloth so easy to see. Second, the text provided explanation for each stitch. Great for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Every stitch shown was explained so well. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! ♥️
😂😉feel the same
Ohhh my god so true. I saw so many videos that were hard to understand or unnecessarily packed with detail. This one is simple and bright, and anyone can understand it. Thanks so much Nutty!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Thank you so much .it was short and sweet.
this helped me a lot, thank you. and thank you so much for not doing some 20 second intro and trying to sell yourself out throughout the video. just a basic tutorial, like how youtube used to be.
Thank you so much for your comment! =)
Yes I agree. Most videos I watch. I end up skipping on to another one just cause they say 10min worth of useless crap. When the actual information needed was only 30sec to 1 minute long.
Agree! I am adding this to a playlist for my middle-schoolers. Thank you!
I don't know why I read this in a sarcastic Lisa Simpson voice.
@@ophanornoel5826, lol...I didn't, until I read your comment.
I like the bare-bones-no-nonsense approach of this tutorial. It helps the viewer focus on the lesson. I don't own a sewing machine, and I have things to mend and patches to apply. This is the best hand sewing video I've been able to find. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your comment 😊
You're welcome. Happy New Year!
Same to you! 😊
i mostly wanna sew for fashion and mending stuff but idk how to thread our sewing machine so i figure learning to sew by hand will be better
Omg after watching so many "how to sew" videos on RUclips as a beginner, I can hands on my heart say this is the only video that has enabled me to master the sewing basics in less than half an hour (having previously never sewed before!!)
Thank you so much! I honestly cannot thank you enough!
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment!! I'm really glad it helped =D
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm really glad it helped =)
this comment helps me
Same
Bruh half an hour I’ve spent an hour trying to get the thread in the loop of the needle salute you bro🫡
Im starting to make doll cloths and just these three is helping so much! Thanks!
wait how did the doll clothes turn out
@@edwardcullen9519 Really well!
LunaWolf Lotus glad to hear after 3 years! how’s your quarantine ☺️
ashley pham amazing XDD
Well I’m making little people with button eyes I’m a beginner
This is impossible with manhands.
EDIT: This is not impossible with manhands.
cohletrain I’m a girl but have got man hands.. so I’m hoping you’re right
Thank you cohletrain
😂😂😂😂
cohletrain Well that was a wonderful, unexpected plot twist!!
lol XD
I've just gone from 0 knowledge to being able to do 3 different types of stitches! Messy stitches but still! XD Thank you! :P
Yup. Internet is such a big blessing to humankind :D

I totally agree with this post. Learnt 3 techniques in no time. Thank you
Annielle Glover would like to be your best friend
This actually is the best video ive found at explaining every stitch and doesn't have tons of talking👍🏾
Thank you so much! =)
Agree! Exactly what I needed! Basic and clear, not a second of wasted time talking.
update ??
Great tutorial!! I not only appreciate the simple and concise demonstration, I appreciate that you used black fabric and different colors of thread!! Finally a tutorial that is easy to see the thread separately from the fabric!!!! Makes all the difference!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for your comment!! =)
I procrastinated taking my wedding dress to the tailor to sew on my bridal sash, and thanks to this video, I was able to do it myself. Thank you!
How sweet ❤️ thank you for sharing!
If any of yall wanna cosplay especially if ur doing handmade stuff this is an absolute must or at least strongly recommended
*What is this sorcery?!* The first tip, how to tie the knot by rolling your thumb & finger - I was like, huh? Then I tried it myself, and it worked every time! mind... blown. lol
The Sleeping Giant the same thing happened to me when i tried it for the first time last week lol😂
Well i can't do it, it doesn't make knot.
oh shit i did it! :D
the knot was too thin and just went straight through tne needle's hole :'( I will discard this pillow i give up.
i'll try again another day maybe
hello! so, my mom taught me the very very basics of sewing* when I was eight, and now, 22 years later, I want to pick it up as a crafting hobby. the most I've done in the past is sloppily (but functionally 😅) hem my non-formal pants. and just from the first couple of minutes, you have already taught me wayyyy more efficient tying knots and a better way to hold the fabric so I'm not hurting my shoulders and neck.
just from this little video, you have made sewing so much more accessible for me! the tiny annoying things are now less annoying, and hopefully I won't destroy my neck as much 😂
*she wasn't much of a teacher tbh. I don't feel bad saying that or critiquing what she taught me lol
I have absolutely no experience in sewing at all. I've had a lot of free time and I've wanted to pick up a new hobby and this is the first video to actually help me. All the other ones I've watched go straight into stitching and I didn't even know how to apply the thread onto the needle... This was super helpful and easy to follow. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your comment! I'm so glad you found it helpful 😊
I'm ready to take on making those facemasks now.
Yassss
step 1 learn to sew
step 2 buy materials.
step 3 learn to make masks using sewing skills.
step 4 profit.
Does this sound about right?
Same here
Don't bother. They don't work.
@@peterboyce6128 What do you mean they don't work? The masks don't work? They do. Also your sounding like a karen
Sewing some patches on my hiking pants and shorts to be more sustainable than buying new clothes, this was a straight and to the point tutorial thank you very much! Very helpful!
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad you found it useful 😊
Lol i practiced the first 2 for a few hours on a shirt then I finally fixed my teddy bear! Thank you!! 🥳🥳 I wanted to learn to stich by hand before getting a sowing machine and this really helps! Thank you!!!!!
That's great! Thanks for sharing ☺️
Wow im tripping out. my grandmother was a seamstress for her first job and i remember being interested in sewing as a small girl (7-8yo) but i couldnt get the hang of it and gave up. fast forward (16-17yo) im sewing a hole closed on a piece of clothing thinking i was a genius making up my own sewing techniques out of the blue when in reality i subconsciously remembered what my grandmother had shown me 😂 watching this video today (22yo) has humbled me n showed me that im not a naturally gifted seamstress
I used this video to teach myself how to sew a small bag thanks this is so helpful.
That was one of the best video tutorials I've ever seen on anything. Direct to the point. Pleasant not overbearing music. Clear bright visuals, with large simple text, not overwhelming or too slow or too fast. No obnoxious long winded hellos, random stories, comedy skits, sponsorship add, long winded introduction themes or other gimmicky nonsense. Just gets to the lesson, and I love the bright contrast used between the fabric and all the threads, to define all the 3 main stitch styles apart. I've never hand sewn a thing in my life. One of my favorite pillows got torn. I keep trying to learn from books but somehow it's not hitting my ADHD brain the right way for me to understand with a visual diagram or large amounts of text. I think you might have provided me with the perfect answer. I'm going to do my best and practice soon. Thanks again🎉
Thank you so much for your comment! ❤️
Thank you! I’ve been trying to sew but for years it always fell apart! I wasn’t tying it right!
Now I’m going to make a hammock for my pets (:
And maybe more things (:
I really appreciate that each stitch is given context; as a beginner it has been difficult to know which stitch to use when for me. I've watched other tutorials and tried things out but without any idea of what stitches to use where I just felt kinda lost in the process. This helped a lot! Thanks ☺️
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm really glad it helped ❤️
This is a fantastic tutorial. The use of different contrasting colours worked so well. I will give this a try on some scraps of cloth. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment 😊
I really like how this video flows and it's up close. I'm at the step before beginning hand sewing. Old dog learning new skill🧵❤🐕
Thank you for your comment ☺️
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I only need the basic stitches and this one helped tremendously!!! Very well done and not a lot of talking. Thanks again!!
Thanks for your comment 😊
Thank you! I am 25 and I never learned to sew. I want to make little pillows for my guinea pigs. I see them bunching up their bedding to lie on and it breaks my heart a little. This will help me a ton ❤
This is gonna help me for my clothing line that I wanna start right
I'm just a sixteen year old, but this really just saved me- I don't have any money to repair my pillow or laundry basket, and they'd both got a bunch of holes from the washer. My mom had a random sewing kit, so I decided to look up a quick tutorial to fix them real quick and your video just helped me do that, and now they're both fixed, so thanks so much!
Thank you for your comment! ❤️ I'm really glad you found it useful
Keep up👍that was really clear and useful. You showed with your hand action instead of talking. To the point and kept it simple
Thank you for your comment 😊
Thanks for basic tutorial i dont know how to sew ur videos are helping me to increase my knowledge put more videos basic for begginers
Yooooo I've never sewn anything in my life and I just fixed my Fashion Nova. You a real one. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Thanks for your comment 😊
I’ve been getting into sewing and stitching lately and this video has been my go to for every time I get confused thank you so much
Thank you for your comment 😊 I'm glad you found it helpful
I can't even put the stupid thread through the needle
That's because the ends of your thread became frayed. Wet the end of the thread a little and rub the end to make it "sharp". That will make it easier to thread the needle.
Try making a little loop and pushing it through, it works for me all the time.
just cut off some thread and see if the thread is straight then it will be easier to pull
You can rub some beeswax on the end of your thread to stop it from fraying while you're putting it through
You can use these thingys to make it EASIER
Thanks so much! 44yr old guy here learning to see on a machine, but there are some things that are just better by hand. Just finished modifying some uncomfortable shoulder straps on my backpack and used the blanket stitch to repair what I cut out.
Saved this to my sewing play list and I’ve referenced it several times already. Thanks again!!
Thank you! Now I can more confidently fix a few rips in my chair. Didn't think to double the thread.
Thank you i finally fixed the side of the leather wallet. Things would fall from one side but this showed me how to sew things from start to finish. Thank you for this tutorial 🙏
Thank you for your comment! Glad you found the video helpful 😊
2:41 wow thats f'ing awesome, been trying to figure how to bring a stitch to a close like that. Awesome.
I did it yay ! Thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🐼🐼🐼🐼
Well done! Thanks for your comment 😊
This is awesome thank you, I haven't sewed for a long time, nanna past away last year :( so couldn't go back to the person who taught me originally.
Thank you for this tutorial! I went to work and had a hole in my pants and this helped me do an emergency stitch just to help me get through the day! It’s my first time sewing and it was super easy to understand.
Thank you. You have helped me fix my sweater pocket
Omg finally someone who can show how it is done omg thanks 👌
This helped me alot i passed it in school and i needed it. Thank you so much for this good tutorial!
That's great!! Thanks for your comment 😊
Thank you for this tutorial. My mom used to do these things for us. I always thought it was magic and amazing how she just does it well. Unfortunately, she passed away recently so I had to also learn these things on my own now.
The most useful video I’ve ever encountered
Thank you 😊
this was lots of years ago but I came here to practice stitching for our live performance tasks for epp tomorrow,this video helped a lot ty!
That looped music starts to take hold.....the music,....it is changing me.
This was an amazing tutorial. Thank you for teaching me a new life skill💞

This tutorial is the best!!! Love the text (great for deaf or hard of hearing folks), the music is calming, and everything is so clear!!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ☺️

FINALLY. A VIDEO ON HOW TO TIE OFF STITCHES. i’ve been trying to figure out how to do it forever but literally could never find ANYTHING about how to do it. And I didn’t even know the vocabulary to look it up specifically 😞
THANK YOU SO MUCH 💜
Yes thank you for this video! It has helped me a lot.
This video was soo helpful. Thank you! I watched other peoples videos but for some reason they just weren’t making sense. Thankfully I found this one. I’ve never sewn in my life up until tonight and it turned out amazing thanks to you.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ❤️ I'm really glad you found it helpful
Simple, straightforward, and explanations. Easily the best how to video I've watched :D
Very helpful video I was trying to stitch edges I thought I have to do with the first 2 ways but turns out the third way is about edges sewing it was really helpful
Thanks for your comment 😊
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial much love!! 💕🙂
Learned the knot trick in 8th grade home economics, still use it today!
The last stich you showed I use all the time but i never went back through the loop. I used to sew on band patches in my punk days that way and today sewed a blanket that had holes from my dog.
Yes I watch this at school and my CTF class is basic hand sewing
Im doing a sew project and you just helped me a bunch thanks so much!!!
That's great! Thanks for your comment 😊
Amaaazing...Thank you.. i needed this the most!
So glad there’s tutorials like this free for everybody. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your comment! 😊
This really helped I’m learning this bc COVID 737
A very useful video I have embarked upon in the recent past. Like the approach of the tutorial with no nonsense teaching accompanied by a mellow music. I was fully focused until the end
Thank you for your comment!
Very helpful! Thanks!
Thanl youo so muchhhhh, after watching your video I stiched my first projcet, a scrunchie
That's great! Thank you for your comment ❤️
This helped me. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks! Your tutorial/beginners guide helped me sew a hole in my pajamas that’s been driving me nuts!
Haha glad to hear! Thanks for your comment ❤️
Engineer learning how to sew, in order to make masks. Need to up my speed, but these all made sense.
My go-to video for sewing! Thank you!
No thimble for her left thumb? I rammed the needle into my left thumb so many times that I made for myself a leather thimble.
Thank u for this video, I have already done some stitching related project back in class 9th and now I have become passionate in this habit, thank u🤗🥰
I thought this is hard but ya, tnx! I thought "omg this is gonna be hard" but dont think its hard
most helpful video ever... 👍👍i was tired watching too many videos to alter my baggy T-shirt but all in vain.... Finally this video came to my rescue... Thanx alot😊
Thanks for your comment!! I'm really glad it helped =)
Just the sheer thought of this video still helps people even after 7 years of being posted does make me smile
we watched dat in our first sewing lesson
I'm a full-time stay-at-home parent, finally something simple and easy for me, nice short video for when the kids are up to trouble. I got lots of stitching and buttons to do now. 😅
and now I'm going to try lol
How did it go?
Perfect, best tutorial I've seen so far. And finally, one where the person had the courtesy to trim their nails first!
Me how has no knowledge about hand sewing:👁👄👁
Also me: who figured out how to do the blanket stitch without a tutorial (or even knew it was called that)
This is how a beginner tutorial is done.. every other beginner video on sewing should take a leaf out of this.. thanks a ton...my gratitude...
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ❤️
Am I the only one here learning how to sew to make scrunchies?
Nice
I really enjoyed the simplicity of your video. If it wasn't 5 a.m. I would start applying the lesson immediately.
I'm here so I can make a face mask. From what I can tell, I need a back-stitch
I'm so thankful that you came straight to the point on what one needs to do without taking too much time on unneeded things
Thank you so much for your comment! 😊
well wait, how do you tie off the blanket stitch?
You can tie it off at the adjacent stitch or make 2-3 tight tying off stitches that are on the same spot for reinforcement rather than leaving a gap as you do for the regular blanket stitch =)
oh I See! So a tie off stitch is just that, just a universal tie off switch. gotcha! thanks for the reply! And double thanks for the video!
Yes exactly! You're welcome :D
@@NuttyCrafter you are the greatest. I've read several of your comment to people that didnt know how or what to do. You give great answers that are understandable and easy implement.
Thank you so much for your comment 😊
By the far the best video about sewing that I have watched
Thank you so much! =)
Is the blanket stitch known also as overhand stitch
Jervis Dumaliang the blanket stitch is also known as the buttonhole Stitch. The overhand Stitch is a different Stitch all together
Thank you for a straightforward and simple explanation and demonstration!!! Thank you for not having a "to the point" approach. I learn these stitches faster than I could write my thanks to you and I really appreciate it! ❤
Thanks, just fixed two pair of mountain biking gloves thanks to this video instead of throwing them out and just buying new ones.
That's great to hear! Thanks for your comment 😊
In 42 years old. I haven't tried to stitch anything since home economics in middle school, middle school is age 8-12... This video helped me a lot. Thank you Beautiful Hands that showed me how to stitch.
From someone who found Home Economics class very boring, Thank you VERY MUCH! This is a very valuable skill to have.
Thank you for your comment! 😊
I thought I would attempt to adjust the length of my trousers, have never sewn in my life. Had trouble keeping a straight line but I don't think anyone will notice. My biggest issue was tying off, I had no idea so this was a great help, many thanks!
Thanks for your comment! 😊
