Sewing is a very popular craft that is almost universally used. Its origin dates as far back as the Paleolithic age (30,000 BC), and is usually, today, used to make clothing or home furnishings. There are several different methods and stitches involved in sewing that all serve a unique purpose depending on what is being made. In recent centuries the advent of the sewing machine has made the process much easier and faster, and has allowed garment makers to make a superior product in almost half the time. Today, most of the sewing that is done by hand is to repair damaged garments or finish those started by machines.
This series will teach you how to thread your machine and how to use several different methods, tips and techniques associated with the many different stitches.
