2 Stitches You Need to Know: Whip and Fell Stitch 

I think these two stitches are easy to confuse, because you "fell seams" but are actually doing a whip stitch, but a lot of tutorials mistakenly call it a fell stitch. Thanks for clarifying the two stitches and demonstrating them so clearly.

I just totally love hand stitching. That includes knitting and appliqué and embroidery. It’s relaxing and comforting and self satisfying. I just flat out love it.

I tend to get really lost in the weeds with stitch tutorials, but this was extraordinarily easy to follow!! Thank you so much!! :)

Brand new sub here, I just want to say thank you so much for making this video, I recently decided to take up hand sewing and just got started in the last week being able to sit down and get some practice stitches in. The first few I had landed on to practice are a running, combination/running backstitch, the backstitch, and the whip stitch. The first few times I tried doing the latter, I just COULD NOT get the hang of it at all and all my stitches looked like hot steaming garbage. So I took to the youtubes to see if I could find a video that explained and showed the process better, and I landed here. This has been sooooooooooo helpful and even in just a few days my whip stitch quality got a lot better. I even decided to give the fell stitch a go and somehow managed to have a better knack for that one from the get go 🤷‍♀️. I can't wait to see what is coming here in this space, you're great at explaining things and you have AMAZING hair. Have a fantastic day!

Wonderful video! Precise, concise, great narration and clear shots. And haunting background tune. Thank you for this! :D

Thank you for the instruction! It really helped me out!

Very helpful for felling the seam on my hat!

Thank you, you are a saint

Thank you for explaining these techniques. You have such helpful advice to sort through all the overlapping and confusing terms.

Beautifully clear and easy to follow. Wish more videos on YT were at this standard 👍

You’re so underrated!! I’m so glad I found this😭😭

Thank you! I've been wondering about this for a while now.

Thank you so much for these videos! I've combed through tons of channels but yours is the first that got down into the details enough to give me the confidence to order up some basic supplies and get started. I can't wait to begin learning for real!

Great tutorials!

Omg this came just at the right time! I could NOT figure out what the heck the "appliqué stitch" was in reference to attaching skirts to a 1780s bodice and could tell it was related to the whip until I tracked down that it was also called a fell stitch. Thank you for the clear instruction and comparison between the two! 🤩

Great tutorial but can we use these stitches in our daily clothes substitute the sewing machine ? I read that these stitches by hand always used in haut couture till today .but don know ifff home sewers still do .love your channel.

i love your lipstick color. what is it called? So pretty!

I'm always confused by the felling stitch and whip stitch. So the main difference is in with the whip stitch, the needle goes from the ground layer through the top layer perpendicular to the fold? While the fell stitch is travelling diagonally?

What's the difference between the fell stitch and the slip stitch? They look very identical to me, so I wonder if the difference is just in the application? Slip stich is for hem while fell stitch is usually for attaching lining or applique.

So whip stitch is the best option if I want to hem pants?

is the wip stitch similare to the blanket stitch
