Stitches For Sewing

Hand sewing stitches are functional construction techniques used to assemble or reinforce fabric items.

The primary purpose of these stitches is structural – joining fabric pieces, securing seams, finishing edges, or adding durability to areas that will experience wear. At the same time, these techniques can also be used for hand embroidery.

Hand sewing stitches ensure stability and proper construction rather than embellishment.

The best-known stitch from this category is the Back stitch, which creates durable seams that resemble those made with a sewing machine.
