*ZIG ZAG STITCH* by Hand Tutorial - Alice's Bear Shop 

Thank you for making this video. I don't have a sewing machine but have always wanted to sew. Therefore, my only way to go is hand-sewing. So I'm very grateful for what you've done here. :)

One of the most clear sewing videos I've seen. Simple, to the point, well-composed and edited! 👍

I’m so happy I found this tutorial. I’ve been looking online on how to hand sew Elastic bands and this is the only great video I found. I also don’t have a sewing machine😭. This tutorial is so on point and I can follow along with your way on sewing elastic band. Thank you❤️

Very helpful, good angle and well spoken. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I have been wondering how to replace worn out elastic for years. Finally came across your nice, short, and very well explained video.

This is the single best instructional video I’ve seen. Thank you! I finally get it.

Always a pleasure to listen to that sweet voice of yours!

Thanks so much for posting this. Just what I needed to know, and in a short and concise format, now I can get straight to that elastic! 😊

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you. I could see exactly what you were doing and you explained it simply unlike other tutorials I’ve looked at.

I was planning on making a pillow out of a t-shirt and google recommended a zig zag stitch. I haven’t sewed anything before and this was very helpful! Thank you :3

I haven't seen that box technique before, incredibly helpful!

Learning how to sew helps😊💕

cant believe this video doesnt have more likes!! this vid is amazing i couldnt get it down till i almost gave up and saw ur video if only u showed how to end the stitch lol

I'm making a fleece for my dog, thank you for the tutorial!

going to use this to repair some jacket cuffs! thank you!

Thanks for the video. It was easy to follow and worked well for my project.

SO HELPFUL! Thank you so much for making this such a simple and easy-to-follow video!! 💖

Thank you so much! This video was very clear, and straght to the point, it really helped!

Good job. Those zig zag stitches. Thank you

I'm incredibly "novicely" (new word lol) attempting to make a simple neck gaiter for a mask. Being you need stretchy material, I wasn't sure how to sew it! So, thank you for your help!

THANK YOU! i've been stuck on a project for so long, needing to hand sew elastic [on doll scale!]. i kept searching and, until your video, everyone kept using sewing machines with no mention of hand sewing, let alone which stitch to us! thank you again for such a straight forward video

Thank you for this! Simple and easy to understand.😊 The other videos I found were confusing or used a sewing machine.😅 Unfortunately I have no idea how to use mine so I'm sticking with hand sewing for now. I really need this for some garments I've been wanting to create. 😁 Also, if you had one on hand, you could use an embroidery hoop to stretch the fabric/elastic/anything that needs to be held taut. It can be a bit troublesome to get it in there at first but it does work!

Thank you for this!!! Love your channel name, too!

Simple and right to the point. Love it.

this was very helpful thank you!

Thank you so much, I dont own a sewing machine and I do Spider-man cosplays and theres a ripped stitch in the seam of the arm, now I can do something about it 😂

is this the zig zag stitch for finishing edges, or just for sewing elastic? this is the best video i’ve found, but it doesn’t look like other zig zag stitches i’ve seen. Thanks!

Thank you, this was very helpful and clear.

This is so helpful thank you

Ah, for the first time in my life, I know how to sew elastic to allow it to stretch! I've been doing it all wrong. I don't have a sewing machine and I do everything by hand.

It’s interesting because all these skirt videos seem to just want to fold over the cloth and make a tunnel for the elastic. I feel like I’m missing something, and maybe this is it

Thank you very much! so helpful!

Life saver is what you are ❤❤❤💜💜💜💖💖💖

Amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much, I'll definitely try it! :)

This was amazing! Thank you for teaching me something new :D

Would this stitch be good for hand sewing jersey knit fabric shirt?

Thank you very helpful!

Brilliant

Did you use a normal thread? Or those strechable one?

Nice video

Thank you ❤

I was looking all over 😭

Thank you so much. Now I know.

Can you do this on paper?

Where can i use this hem?

thank you for the tutoral.

Thank you!

I’m needing to take in a (one piece) swim suit from the sides, where it lays over my torso. Would I be able to use a back stitch? Or should I be using this type of stitch even though I’m not sewing an elastic band? Would really appreciate your help! =)

thx :)

Wow😃😃😃😀😗😙😚

Its not zigzag stitch its catch stitch

Thanks for showing me hand zig zag stitch as I may need this information as my old sewing machine don't have zig zag stitch as far as I know I got to look so may have to do via hand sewing as it's stretch fabric I'm working with
