Overlock Stitch by hand (Basic Hand sewing) 

You are so welcome!

You are so welcome!

Watch it again. Slow it down if you need to. Because the only part it skips is straightening out out the fabric and then resituating her hand before the needle goes in again. (Because of the thick fabric and thread) Nothing important is cut out at all, much less the "most important part". 🙂

I thought so too. I seem to be missing if she grabs one piece of thread or two when she loops it through to make that straight edge across the top. Guess I'll just have to try it...trial & error

I’m glad you wrote this because I watched it again and again and I was wondering why I wasn’t “getting” it. It may not technically contain anything useful but the jump cut is jarring and confusing.

@@mynameisben123 I imagine you’re referring to when they wrap a loop that seems to be out of nowhere around the needle. And I agree it’s not very clearly shown. After replaying that part several times (which would be unnecessary if it was shown a little more deliberately), it seems the key here is that they are working with two strands of thread. The “loop” that they’re feeding the needle through is actually them splitting the two strands and passing the needle in between them, so one strand is in front of the needle and the other strand is behind. The strand in front of the needle becomes the left edge of the upside down triangle, while the strand behind the needle forms the top and right edge. They are also twisting each time after splitting the two strands to alternate which strand goes in front of the needle and which goes behind. Hope this explanation helps.

Yes, you are so right!

Welcome!

T shirts are usually made from knit fabric, so they don't really need this overlock stitch. I suppose you're talking about hemming a t shirt. If you are, look up how to hem knit fabric. Then you can use this stitch for finishing, or leave it as it is.

a herringbone aka catch stitch is a stretchy hand stitch, the one in the video I don't know but I may try sewing it and see if it stretches

Thanks

Glad you think so!

You are so welcome!

No

Pretty sure it's embroidery floss

Glad it was helpful!

Yes

You can do it!

Thank you so much

Its like variation of blanket stitch. But both these stitches are used to overlock.

You're welcome

Knit fabric doesn't really need seam finishing. But I think this stitch is similar to zigzag stitch so I think it will work on knit.

Thank you too
