Handsewing is a great skill to have in your toolbox! I'm going to show you a couple stitches that every sewer should know!
Hi, I'm Angela Wolf! Let me show you two versatile hand stitches: slip stitch and blind hem stitch.
For both these you only need a single thread, so I will pull out about this much - too long of a piece of thread will get twisted and knot up. Cut the thread and tie a knot.
Slip stitch is not only great for hemming, but attaching lining, trims and much more.
Begin by hiding the knot within the hem allowance fold. Starting a quarter of an inch away - grab one or two fibers from the fabric and then take the needle straight across into the hem allowance fold - then slide the needle along the inside of the fold - exiting it about a quarter of an inch away.
I will do a couple more stitches - again grab a thread of the fabric and insert your needle into the hem allowance fold.
Notice how all of these threads are in an even diagonal and on the right side of the fabric they are almost invisible!
To finish, take your needle back through where that last stitch just came out on the hem allowance. Pull the thread until you have a loop about this size, and run your needle through twice, and pull it tight to make a secure knot. Leave a thread tail and insert the needle into the hem allowance to bury it an inch inside.
Now you have a perfectly slip-stitched hem! Even with contrasting thread you can't see the stitches on the right side!
Let’s move on to the blind hem stitch! Although you can do this with the sewing machine, sometimes sewing the hem by hand looks better and you really can’t see the stitches from the right side of the garment - so it's a true blind hem!
Start by folding back the edge of the hem allowance about a quarter of an inch to half an inch.
Grab a stitch from inside the hem allowance. Then moving forward about 1/4" grab two threads from the fabric. Then go back to the inside of the hem allowance, grab a few threads of the fabric and go back across to the right side of the fabric.
Continue to go back and forth, being careful not to pull these threads too tight. Take a close look -- you can just barely see the stitches from the right side.
To finish I put my needle straight across - slip it through the loop twice, pull it twice and hide the thread tail - that's it!
Hiiii again!! 😃... OmaGosh!! I followed what you said and my hems came out perfect AND invisible!!! I am so doggone proud!!! 🦚🤩🧵...My niece L😍VED her pants! They were hemmed awesomely if may say so myself! Everyone said it looked professional!!! Thank YOU a gazillion times over!!!! 🤗🥰🤩🥳..Many blessings to you!!!
AY! Slow down I’m still trying to get my tread inside my needle
I had the same issue. Like waiiittt 😆.
But go to your settings and select a slower playback speed. That's how I was able catch on to her techniques better. I hope this helps.
yes,too fast for beginners like me
🤣🤣 yuh know
Thank you so much! I have a pair of pants I really love and the hem of one of the legs fell down and I had no idea how to fix it... If I had a similar color thread I think it would've been better but I sewed it up like this and you can barely tell from far away which is the goal! It was so easy to follow along with the video ❤️
Instruction unclear, i am crying at 1:30 am with multiple pokes and mental break downs, also pretty sure i had sewn my dogs eyes shut.
Devy Moore WHAT HOW I hope you are lying about the dog part
Ratatata agreed O-O
Araceli Alvarez I am very concerned and worried about that dog to this day
Oh 😭
Ratatata - rip ollie
I like that your video was quick and to the point. I noticed a lot of people saying you went too fast. I disagree. They can slow the video down if they want to. Or watch twice
Saved again by Angela Wolf. Thank you so much!

Thanx for sharing,nd work, presentation is fabulous,i m a fashion designer so i easily understand how yr work is perfect. . . .
Learned to sew in elementary. This is a great refresher
Great tip for invisible hem. Thanks so much.😊
Nice video but it was kinda too quick for me. Wish you slowed down a little specially around the part where you double fold the fabric
couldn’t even figure out how to tie the knot after a million tries 😭
Yesssss,, Sameeeee, too fast for me in the part of folding
hehe. Replay/slowmo.
can slowdown just tap the playback speed
Top right corner, Click playback speed and choose slower
Learned how to do this for the first time today, watching this video will help me practice. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Very clearly explained, just what I needed to learn today! Thanks :)
Right? She just made it simple and easy to understand. Now I have to put this knowledge into motion, wish me luck
Ok. Update.
A few things to know.
1 - Have thread on hand. Fishing line is "apparently" not a suitable replacement.
2 - It will probably, more than likely NOT look professional the first (or second) time you do it.
3 - Maybe ask another physical human, who is aware how this is supposed to go to possibly supervise you and/or help, for a quicker completion time.
All in all. I did it, it's holding, it looks like I used a stapler and a fork to do it but it's HOLDING.
Thank you
I actually thought this was super helpful! Thanks!!
The first one is what I'm going to attempt using to fix my pant leg thank you ever so much ❤
You got this! Did it work?
Very clear and concise thank you
Thanks for sharing; It's been awhile since I've sewn anything, but this was a very informative reminder of how the stitches are done.
Thanks so VERY MUCH! You saved me 🌈🤩🙌🏻. My niece wants me to alter and hem her striped pants! I am so nervous about messing them up. This is sooooo handy!!! Wish me Luck!! 🤞🏻🙏🏻🍀🧵👖...You made it look pretty goshdarn easy!!! Take care and have a blessed and wonderful holiday season!! 🦃❄️🎄Be safe 😷!
Very helpful! Thanks!
When it looks that easy.....it deffo isn't! Nice vid 👌🏻
Way too fast. Not enough info. Maybe good for someone who already knows the stitch. But for someone like me trying to learn it was totally useless.
Not enough info? She shows you, step by step, what to do - and what to look for. When you say "someone like me", are you referring to people who don't like using the pause button? Nothing's stopping you from replaying it over and over. (That's how I learned how to cut up a whole chicken.)
I agree. I’m really just trying to hem something for the very first time; I have no idea what a “hem allowance fold” is.
Hi I just wanted to let you know that in this same channel where there's a lady in the video that slowly explains to stitch a little more see also explains several stitches but it includes this one and I think it has something in the title like Couture finishing stitches but she explains it slowly a little bit slower you could go back on the video as well.
Gary Wong you can always slow down the video
Agreed she went too quickly for complete beginners. Also agreed the other lady on this channel explaining several stitches does a much better job, very professional..she has glasses and wears a light blue jacket - I didn't have to pause or rewind her video.
Your explanation style is so cute!! Keep making videos and thanks ❤️
Great tutorial..totally Awesome
It's very useful tutorial video. Thank you so much ❤.
Great tutorial thank you for sharing
This was life changing
U made it look so easy
Beautiful thank you for sharing
This is greatly helpful. At almost 70 years of age I found I really need this basic info . and will try it. Now where to get thread and needle....
This is like the one video on here that actually shows you how to do it
Just what i was lookx for..tk u ma'am
I do have to agree with the other comments. It was a little too fast. But you could also have changed the playback speed. Trust me, it really helps.
Shouldn't have to change the playback speed though. The issue is the teacher. Others comments testify to this.
omg I am new to sewing and for my home ec class and we had to get this down for hmw so I am soo glad I stumbled on this video btw this video kinda sucks low key but all well at least I got it down my home ec teacher was super impressed so in a way thank u!! lmao
Thanks a lot.
This dad thanks you. Nice and easy to follow, but only if I had a better attention span for sewing. haha
Easy demonstration.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VID
I EASILY GET IT 🥰💙
I like your clips, but they sometimes fly by too fast. For example, when you're talking about folding back the hem allowance to hide knots or perform some part of a stitch, it can be so confusing. That double fold thing is tricky. You tend to roll back the folds too fast! With things upside down, inside out (as hems are) people get dizzy; especially if they're new to sewing. Would be helpful to do things like that more slowly. I get that the idea is to convey how quick and easy it is, but it's really only quick and easy if you've been doing it for ages. Many people might need reminding what a hem allowance actually is etc. But thank you for the clip!
aerialkate it’s really too fast to learn anything... slow it down
It's perfect as-is. That's what the pause and rewind buttons are for on RUclips (and the setting that allows you to play back videos at different speeds). ;)
aerialkate n
I agree the slide style transition from clip to clip isn't helping since the movement is a bit distracting and takes away from how the stitch should be done in repetition.
Needed to hem some pants fast and forgot the stitch. Thanks for the help!
Thanks so much!!
Thank you for showing me how to do this! 😀
Thanks
I like how the sewing knot was made and his inside the fabric. It was done so fast asnd it is a blur in my mind
It really nice
thank you! finally i understand how to do a blind hem!
Too fast can’t see
Gostei e gostei mais deste caseado ❤🎉😊
Beginner here… pointing out that fabric needs to be ironed in place to easily do this..
Thanks for the tips
“Hem allowance fold????” It’d be nice if ya started with a few basics, like WTF is a hem allowance fold...THEN explained the technique. Remember, we’re watching your video cause we do not know what we’re doin.
Paul Lilavois 😭😭literally my thoughts when she said “hem allowance fold”
+Christian Thomas - ruclips.net/video/6Mte8zG-ezI/видео.html
This video is about seam allowance but you can take the same idea and apply it to the hem at the bottom.
IKR this was an awful video
I know this is 2 yrs old & in the event you haven't found the answers you are looking for here goes: The Hem is the bottom most edge of your garment i.e the bottom of your pant legs or skirt. The Hem Allowance provides the excess fabric required to create a clean finished look. The Hem line is where you want the garment to fall like exactly at your ankles, your Hem Allowance is longer than that point so that you can fold up the raw edges to hide them on the inside of the garment. In trousers this may be a double fold up to the Hem line & the two hand stitches shown is this video is how to finish the Hem for a clean look. I hope this is helpful.
@Nessa Well said.
Great video! Looks like I won't have to go to a seamstress to get this done to shorten/hem my kilt since the drop is too long.
Across....ed? Is that like “irregardless?” 🤣
What's the word she keeps using after the word "hem"? Is it "allowance"?
This is easy... Theres another easiest way to easily lock each stitch
I came here to find sewing advice but instead I found love at first sight 😍😂
So the blind stitch means there is no hole on the outer side ?
Can you do more videos for hand sticting pls
Now my mom is helping me
she reminds me of tati westbrook!
What size niddle are u using
so the two stitches are the same basically?
can someone please explain the difference, if any, in the steps of the two please??
I'm just learning, but the second one seems to be only by pulling through single threads in the garment while the slip stitch alternates between single thread and going into the hem allowance fold.

I work on the Las Vegas Strip for a show. I did this and the head of wardrobe tore it out. She did one I had never seen before. Granted, it will rip out immediately but performers have seamstresses at their disposal so if it needs to be put back in, she's there. Rough.
I have a question. I am not that great at hand sewing for a professional look. I press large patches on denim and wool varsity jackets, but I’d like to sew them on where they look professional. Can I do this by hand with such thick materials? If I cannot, what type of machine would I need taking into consideration how bulky sewing the back of a jacket would be? I’m just visualizing. I have no clue. Thank you!
Hi Stephanie,
I'd be worried that hand sewing through the thick materials would be quite difficult. You'd need a larger needle and a thimble, at the very least, and even then it would probably be quite a struggle.
Machine stitching would work much better. You wouldn't need any special machine, any home-sewing machine should do the trick, as long as it's well-made. You can straight stitch the perimeter of the patches, or use a zigzag stitch. If you decrease the stitch length of a zigzag so the threads lay right next to each other and completely cover the fabric beneath them, it's called a satin stitch, and is a popular method for attaching patches.
If you plan to use the sewing machine for more sewing projects in the future, you might invest in something with more features. But Brother makes some good lower-priced models that are good starter machines. I used the Brother CS6000i for quite a while, before I upgraded to my Pfaff Passport 2.0. If you can go into a machine dealer and test drive some of the machines, it always helps with making the decision.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Nicki
@@CraftsyRUclips YOU ARE AMAZING!!! THANK YOU!!!
@@CraftsyRUclips I looked up your machine on Amazon. So if I’m seeing a 10 inch patch on the back of a wool varsity jacket, it will fit under the needle and the back won’t bunch up?
Sewing machines are not very expensive. My idea is you should buy a good one so you can deal with thick fabrics.
Is there another name for the blind hem stitch? It looks like catch stitch.
Everybody does this on a seam. Would like to see one where it’s just a hole.
what's the difference between the two stitches?
I just ripped my pants and youtube recommended me this wth
how do you make that first knot?
what are the prereqs for this video?
Does anyone know what type of needle ?
Trying to learn for WWII accurate fixes.. on other thoughts I might just buy a era-correct sewing machine.
Ok, did not get what she was saying but I'll try it
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
how about just show the stitching without cutting the video and going clip to clip ....
Both techniques looked the same to me
Il just ask my grandma to sew my pants
I'm stuck with a lot more of sewing machines in
Ooh! I like your last name
👍🏻
Too fast! We’re trying to learn here!
My sew needle won't go in
Crying right now not knowing what to do with my long school skirt
what kind of person would dislike this???
smh right
haters bro haters. you already know
Did you just respond to yourself?
Modern day feminists lol
Use better terms when explaing things. Some beginners like me have no idea what hems or other terms are. And you go fast , and please, better visual of the sewing
On
Angela I don't understand this.
Sewer is not a word unless you are speaking about waste removal. Also tying knots is a bad habit.
To many interactions in the video. Not good or complete instruction.
guys if this doesnt make sense thenslow down the speed: settings: playback speed : whatever you want
Nice Photoshop on trying to make your stitches look invisible
Too fast :(
To fast , no good
Pardon me but I have no idea what the hell u are talking about
Don't need to see your face, just the instructional video. Pretty lady tho.Thanks for not having distraction fingernail polish!
Waaaay too fast guys! Comin! Plus she’s talking a mile a minute
OMFG... 7 "BEGINNER" TUTORIALS I WATCHED NOW... NOT A SINGLE ONE EXPLAINS WHAT TO DO WITH THE THREAD ONCE YOU'VE RAN IT THROUGH THE NEEDLE EYE!
DOES IT JUST MAGICALLY NOT COME OFF OF THE NEEDLE SOMEHOW?! FFS! 🤬
Do you have a daughter old enough to marry? I am ready!
I dont understand thisss
