Is Backstitch the Next "Big Thing" in Sewing?

Backstitch is a new platform for sewists to organize fabric + patterns, plan + track sewing projects, discover new sewing patterns and share experiences + process in an online community. I just learned about it this week and wanted to tell you all about it, as I signed up to be part of the Beta.
This could be a total game changer for the sewing world, as Backstitch features many of the best elements of other social media platforms, but all in one place. I definitely see this being an incredibly valuable resource for sewists of all skill levels and backgrounds.
While most of the Backstitch features are free, there is an upgraded version for $5 / month with advanced features.
You can now find me on Backstitch!

I have been beta testing for quite a few months now and I LOVE IT! What you don’t see in the video is how cool it is once you’ve added lots of patterns and fabrics, that is when the fun begins! I don’t stress too much about the “proper names” of fabrics, I just call things by what I would recognise them as. The real power in this app is the filters and search tools! I can search over 13000 patterns loaded by other users to find all the dresses with “dramatic sleeves” or “A line skirts” or “maternity” etc. etc. I can search all the pants patterns to find the ones that are suitable for a drill cotton fabric, and I can search my fabric stash for e.g. the stretch fabrics or the lightweight silks if that’s what the pattern I’m looking at requires. I can make my own tags to make it easier to filter my own stashes in ways that are meaningful to me (eg. I tag my patterns if I haven’t printed them out yet). I can search for patterns that support projector files, bigger cup sizes, or filters to find something that is available in my measurements. I can add measurements for other people I sew for too, and can update them as they grow. I can make project plans and mix and match patterns from my stash with fabrics that I have, I can make a blog journal of the process and share that with others. I can follow along with other people’s projects and celebrate them when they are done. I can ask people for advice and give them compliments. I am so blown away by how rapidly Guro & Endre have built this platform up from when I started using it, and it was already pretty good back in the early days. Welcome to the club! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do 🥰

Sounds like Ravelry for sewing. MUCH NEEDED.

@AudreyMasonStory 4 месяца назад

Yes, it reminds me of Ravelry but early days so not many completed projects to view.

@alicekelly4975 4 месяца назад

Yes, a “Ravelry” for sewing would be great.

@brittnyrv5087 3 месяца назад

I knit too so this would be SO helpful for sewing.

@nancyguyton1191 4 месяца назад

Ravelry for seeing. I love Ravelry for organizing yarn and projects and keeping project notes and participating in several communities. Sewing really needs it! I will be looking at this for my sewing. Thank you!

@barbarafender7046 4 месяца назад

Wow! This looks great. Thank you so much for sharing!

@debbiegauvain8539 4 месяца назад

Hey, Jen! Thank you for showing this app. I signed up to beta test. I’ve used Ravelry and tried to use apps for sewing but haven’t enjoyed them and totally jumped in. I do plan on putting all my fabric in and using it to track *hopefully* a successful stash down in 2024. As you know, I’m not opposed to buying a little here & there, I just want there to be less in my stash on New Year’s Eve. 😊. So far this year… I need to do some sewing and catch up. Lol

@jacquelinejacobson4023 3 месяца назад

So this sounds good but I’ve been burned before. I’ve entered all my patterns and fabric in two different dedicated apps only to have them go defunct. I decided to use Airtable figuring that a professional program would be maintained and not go belly up in just a year or two. I’ve got all my patterns re photographed and reentered. Still working on the fabric. But since I have over 1400 yards of fabric I don’t want to do it again. Maybe I can export my files from Airtable. Which I could not do from the defunct apps since they lost functionality. I hope this works because I like the idea but it might be a while before I switch over entirely.

@AussieTracy 4 месяца назад

I too would rather use my desktop pc for things as the screen is way bigger than my Ipad or phone. 🌸🐨🌸

@brittnyrv5087 3 месяца назад

Ooooooh the fabric stash would help lol! I have so much in a small space that occasionally I pull something out like "omg!!! I forgot about this!" All thise fat quarters haha... I dont have a problem...

just signed up for the beta, cant wait to connect with people

@MichelleNaomiConner 4 месяца назад

I just spent alot of time last month making a few Excel sheets for my patterns I was making each month and a second one that tracks all my materials (everything got an inventory number, and I can add new things and use things semi automatically). I will have to check this out to see if I want to move everything over. Since it might be better for tracking patterns.

@Harhsnlfe 4 месяца назад

Do you know anyways i could only have regular sewing machine but mimicking cover stitch or overlock…? Like using zigzag stitch or something..? I know they are all each has its own use but I can’t afford to buy all those three machines 😢

@bettymeyskens1696 4 месяца назад

Is there a good app to track your quilting supplies, like,e patterns, books, rulers, threads, etc.?

@SparkyOne549 4 месяца назад

It will start off as free, but I worry that it will eventually require a monthly subscription. Also once it gets really popular it would be sold to a company that will eventually ruin it.

@MichelleNaomiConner 4 месяца назад

I agree about the monthly fee. There is already one at $5. Have to see what the advanced features are and if that is needed for the average person. I could see maybe a one time fee. But as well while $5 USD isnt a whole lot of money to spend on an app. I could already see it increasing it in the long run.

@AudreyMasonStory 4 месяца назад

@@MichelleNaomiConner, I joined the Beta a couple of weeks ago. Honestly, at this time the additional features you get for paying are not “must haves” for the average sewing. I signed up for a yearly subscription more from a crowdsourcing perspective.
