thank you! i've been struggling to know how to stitch so thanks
Your securing knot demonstration is garbage...
Thanks!
I know I'll find this stitch at 2:50 very helpful!

This video is pure genius. First the colored threads on a dark cloth so easy to see. Second, the text provided explanation for each stitch. Great for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Every stitch shown was explained so well. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! ♥️
😂😉feel the same
Ohhh my god so true. I saw so many videos that were hard to understand or unnecessarily packed with detail. This one is simple and bright, and anyone can understand it. Thanks so much Nutty!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Thank you so much .it was short and sweet.
I like the bare-bones-no-nonsense approach of this tutorial. It helps the viewer focus on the lesson. I don't own a sewing machine, and I have things to mend and patches to apply. This is the best hand sewing video I've been able to find. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your comment 😊
You're welcome. Happy New Year!
Same to you! 😊
i mostly wanna sew for fashion and mending stuff but idk how to thread our sewing machine so i figure learning to sew by hand will be better
Thank you. I’m a 65 year old man and I am recently widowed. my wife took care of these things for me. Today I discovered I had a hole in the pocket of my favorite pants now thanks to your video I was able to fix it myself even though I’d give the world to have my wife here fixing it for me.
I am so sorry to hear that. I'm glad you found my video useful. Take care.
I hope you're doing well sir
Bless you. I hope you’re at peace today.
❤
Hope You're still here now
This comment just made me cry. Bless your heart sir. ❤
Omg after watching so many "how to sew" videos on UA-cam as a beginner, I can hands on my heart say this is the only video that has enabled me to master the sewing basics in less than half an hour (having previously never sewed before!!)
Thank you so much! I honestly cannot thank you enough!
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment!! I'm really glad it helped =D
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm really glad it helped =)
this comment helps me
Same
Bruh half an hour I’ve spent an hour trying to get the thread in the loop of the needle salute you bro🫡
Im starting to make doll cloths and just these three is helping so much! Thanks!

@@edwardcullen9519 Really well!
LunaWolf Lotus glad to hear after 3 years! how’s your quarantine ☺️
ashley pham amazing XDD
Well I’m making little people with button eyes I’m a beginner
*What is this sorcery?!* The first tip, how to tie the knot by rolling your thumb & finger - I was like, huh? Then I tried it myself, and it worked every time! mind... blown. lol
The Sleeping Giant the same thing happened to me when i tried it for the first time last week lol😂
Well i can't do it, it doesn't make knot.
oh shit i did it! :D
the knot was too thin and just went straight through tne needle's hole :'( I will discard this pillow i give up.
i'll try again another day maybe
I've just gone from 0 knowledge to being able to do 3 different types of stitches! Messy stitches but still! XD Thank you! :P
Yup. Internet is such a big blessing to humankind :D

I totally agree with this post. Learnt 3 techniques in no time. Thank you
Annielle Glover would like to be your best friend
This actually is the best video ive found at explaining every stitch and doesn't have tons of talking👍🏾
Thank you so much! =)
Agree! Exactly what I needed! Basic and clear, not a second of wasted time talking.
update ??
If any of yall wanna cosplay especially if ur doing handmade stuff this is an absolute must or at least strongly recommended
I can't even put the stupid thread through the needle
That's because the ends of your thread became frayed. Wet the end of the thread a little and rub the end to make it "sharp". That will make it easier to thread the needle.
Try making a little loop and pushing it through, it works for me all the time.
just cut off some thread and see if the thread is straight then it will be easier to pull
You can rub some beeswax on the end of your thread to stop it from fraying while you're putting it through
You can use these thingys to make it EASIER
Sewing some patches on my hiking pants and shorts to be more sustainable than buying new clothes, this was a straight and to the point tutorial thank you very much! Very helpful!
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad you found it useful 😊
Wow im tripping out. my grandmother was a seamstress for her first job and i remember being interested in sewing as a small girl (7-8yo) but i couldnt get the hang of it and gave up. fast forward (16-17yo) im sewing a hole closed on a piece of clothing thinking i was a genius making up my own sewing techniques out of the blue when in reality i subconsciously remembered what my grandmother had shown me 😂 watching this video today (22yo) has humbled me n showed me that im not a naturally gifted seamstress
This is a fantastic tutorial. The use of different contrasting colours worked so well. I will give this a try on some scraps of cloth. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment 😊
I used this video to teach myself how to sew a small bag thanks this is so helpful.
2:41 wow thats f'ing awesome, been trying to figure how to bring a stitch to a close like that. Awesome.
Thank you! I am 25 and I never learned to sew. I want to make little pillows for my guinea pigs. I see them bunching up their bedding to lie on and it breaks my heart a little. This will help me a ton ❤
This is the cutest comment I’ve seen on the internet today🥺
Yooooo I've never sewn anything in my life and I just fixed my Fashion Nova. You a real one. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Thanks for your comment 😊
I'm just a sixteen year old, but this really just saved me- I don't have any money to repair my pillow or laundry basket, and they'd both got a bunch of holes from the washer. My mom had a random sewing kit, so I decided to look up a quick tutorial to fix them real quick and your video just helped me do that, and now they're both fixed, so thanks so much!
Thank you for your comment! ❤️ I'm really glad you found it useful
thank you so much for this video, i'm a total beginner and other tutorials were baffling me. shooting this without long intros and narrative was the right choice.
Thank you so much for your comment!! =)
Thank you. You have helped me fix my sweater pocket
That was one of the best video tutorials I've ever seen on anything. Direct to the point. Pleasant not overbearing music. Clear bright visuals, with large simple text, not overwhelming or too slow or too fast. No obnoxious long winded hellos, random stories, comedy skits, sponsorship add, long winded introduction themes or other gimmicky nonsense. Just gets to the lesson, and I love the bright contrast used between the fabric and all the threads, to define all the 3 main stitch styles apart. I've never hand sewn a thing in my life. One of my favorite pillows got torn. I keep trying to learn from books but somehow it's not hitting my ADHD brain the right way for me to understand with a visual diagram or large amounts of text. I think you might have provided me with the perfect answer. I'm going to do my best and practice soon. Thanks again🎉
Thank you so much for your comment! ❤️
YOU MADE THAT FIRST KNOT SO EASILY DKDNDJDK
This tutorial is the best!!! Love the text (great for deaf or hard of hearing folks), the music is calming, and everything is so clear!!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ☺️
The most useful video I’ve ever encountered
Thank you 😊
So glad there’s tutorials like this free for everybody. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your comment! 😊
No thimble for her left thumb? I rammed the needle into my left thumb so many times that I made for myself a leather thimble.
I'm so thankful that you came straight to the point on what one needs to do without taking too much time on unneeded things
Thank you so much for your comment! 😊
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial much love!! 💕🙂
Thank you for this tutorial! I went to work and had a hole in my pants and this helped me do an emergency stitch just to help me get through the day! It’s my first time sewing and it was super easy to understand.
Yes I watch this at school and my CTF class is basic hand sewing
I really like how this video flows and it's up close. I'm at the step before beginning hand sewing. Old dog learning new skill🧵❤🐕
Thank you for your comment ☺️
Yes thank you for this video! It has helped me a lot.
I'm a full-time stay-at-home parent, finally something simple and easy for me, nice short video for when the kids are up to trouble. I got lots of stitching and buttons to do now. 😅
Amaaazing...Thank you.. i needed this the most!
I really enjoyed the simplicity of your video. If it wasn't 5 a.m. I would start applying the lesson immediately.
Hand sewing an 80s rodeo shirt down to fit. Glad I found such a useful resource
This helped me. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you i finally fixed the side of the leather wallet. Things would fall from one side but this showed me how to sew things from start to finish. Thank you for this tutorial 🙏
Thank you for your comment! Glad you found the video helpful 😊
Thank you for this tutorial. My mom used to do these things for us. I always thought it was magic and amazing how she just does it well. Unfortunately, she passed away recently so I had to also learn these things on my own now.
Very helpful! Thanks!
Thank u for this easy to learn video. I've always had a rough idea on how to do most of these but was never taught right by anyone. Mostly self taught. Excellent guide tho. Thank u
Thank you so much for your comment 😊
Thank you for a straightforward and simple explanation and demonstration!!! Thank you for not having a "to the point" approach. I learn these stitches faster than I could write my thanks to you and I really appreciate it! ❤
This really helped I’m learning this bc COVID 737
this was lots of years ago but I came here to practice stitching for our live performance tasks for epp tomorrow,this video helped a lot ty!
Engineer learning how to sew, in order to make masks. Need to up my speed, but these all made sense.

For a bloke who never picked up a sewing needle in his 32 years this is a very pivotal life experience which i shall carry forth form now on :D
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad it helped ☺️

THANK YOU SO MUCH. This is the only tutorial I could find that isn’t extra and dragged out
we watched dat in our first sewing lesson
Loved it. Now thats what I call a simple beginner tutorial
Thank you for your comment 😊
This was an amazing beginner video! Just did my first running stitch
well wait, how do you tie off the blanket stitch?
You can tie it off at the adjacent stitch or make 2-3 tight tying off stitches that are on the same spot for reinforcement rather than leaving a gap as you do for the regular blanket stitch =)
oh I See! So a tie off stitch is just that, just a universal tie off switch. gotcha! thanks for the reply! And double thanks for the video!
Yes exactly! You're welcome :D
@@NuttyCrafter you are the greatest. I've read several of your comment to people that didnt know how or what to do. You give great answers that are understandable and easy implement.
Thank you so much for your comment 😊
A very useful video I have embarked upon in the recent past. Like the approach of the tutorial with no nonsense teaching accompanied by a mellow music. I was fully focused until the end
Thank you for your comment!
I'm doing a genius hour project for English (it's a topic of your choosing done on your own time over the course of a semester) and I've chosen to sew, and I've decided to use this tutorial to help me complete it. Everything is very well explained and there's plenty of visuals for reference. Thank you so much!
That's great! Thank you so much for your comment and I'm glad you find this video helpful ☺️
Is the blanket stitch known also as overhand stitch
Jervis Dumaliang the blanket stitch is also known as the buttonhole Stitch. The overhand Stitch is a different Stitch all together
As a men, i managed to sew my teared boxer with this tutorial. The basic thing really helps! Thank you
I did it yay ! Thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🐼🐼🐼🐼
Well done! Thanks for your comment 😊
most helpful video ever... 👍👍i was tired watching too many videos to alter my baggy T-shirt but all in vain.... Finally this video came to my rescue... Thanx alot😊
Thanks for your comment!! I'm really glad it helped =)
Simple and easy, I like how you used black fabric so it would be easy to see the brightly colored thread
Thank you ❤❤
That knot tying trick just saved me a bunch of time. Thanks!
I'm 20 years old now and last learned how to sew in 4th grade. Now I can relearn how to do it thanks to this video.
My go-to video for sewing! Thank you!
I thought I would attempt to adjust the length of my trousers, have never sewn in my life. Had trouble keeping a straight line but I don't think anyone will notice. My biggest issue was tying off, I had no idea so this was a great help, many thanks!
Thanks for your comment! 😊
Very informative! I like these videos. Thanks to the author! 👍👍👍
Thank you for your comment! ❤️
Perfect! A quick no-nonsense video of the different stitching Styles I had forgotten since homec class years ago. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your comment ❤️
The third one is the exact one I needed! THANKS!!!
Beautifully demonstrated tutorial, straight to the point, no unnecessary commentary, easy to see and follow, overall wonderfully done, thanks!
Thank you so much for your comment ❤️
@Nutty Crafter oh wow you're still replying to comments after all this time? That's great!
I try to reply to as many as I can 😊 thank you for taking the time to comment!
Starting my own crust pants thank you for this amazing tutorial
Well heck! I've HEARD of these stitches before, but never actually knew what it was. I'm a guy, whatcha expect. Was gonna buy a new handlebar back to replace my worn out one, with failing zipper too. I think I'll use this great video to try a fix. Thanks!
Clear and simple video. Easy to learn from! Thanks for keeping it to the point! I learned more from this video than my many years of asking my mother to teach me
Thank you for your comment! 😊
You showed me exactly what I needed to know in order to repair a torn pants seam. I appreciate your time, patience and clean hands! Here's wishing you many more subscribers.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 😊
Back-Stitch is my favorite. I always use this method ☺️
Thank you! I've never really done this before but I deiced to make some stuff for my mum for Mothers day, I kinda knew how to but I've never really done this. My first attempt may not be even and my not really fit but hey I tried.
It’s always the old videos that are the most helpful
By the far the best video about sewing that I have watched
Thank you so much! =)
Great....I was actually able to sew a string tie in some old shorts. Thanks.
Thanks so much for showing 3 different stitches clearly & telling us the pros & cons of using one stitch instead of the other. I now know that I will have to use the blanket stitch to repair, yes, a torn blanket. It is gonna be a big job, but I will do a little at a time & save a ton of money by not bringing to a tailor. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you so much for your comment 😊
