Getting Started

1. Choose Your Needle and Thread: Select a needle size and thread color that suits your fabric and project.
2. Thread the Needle: Cut a piece of thread about 18 inches long. Insert one end through the eye of the needle and tie a knot at the other end.
3. Prepare Your Fabric: Use the measuring tape to ensure your fabric is the correct size and use pins to hold pieces together if needed.

Basic Sewing Techniques

1. Running Stitch:
   • Push the needle through the fabric from the backside.
   • Pull the thread through and push the needle back down through the fabric a short distance away.
   • Continue this in a straight line to create a series of small, even stitches.
2. Backstitch:
   • Start with a running stitch.
   • After pulling the thread through, bring the needle back in the opposite direction.
   • Insert it into the end of the previous stitch to create a solid line.

Finishing Up

1. Secure the Thread: Once you’ve completed your stitching, tie a knot close to the fabric to secure the thread.
2. Trim Excess Thread: Use the scissors to trim any excess thread close to the knot.

Tips for Beginners

• Practice on scrap fabric to get comfortable with different stitches.
• Use a thimble to protect your fingers from needle pricks.
• Keep your workspace well-organized to easily find the tools you need.
