Running Stitch
In this video, I will show how to sew a running stitch, one stitch at a time. In this case, to stitch on a length of narrow trim as surface decoration
Running Stitch — Single pick method
There are a few different ways of working the running stitch. The different methods have uses on different kinds of fabric and can be used together or separately, depending on the needs of the task at hand. The single pick method shown here is one that I use most often for applying narrow trim very quickly. Some Surviving garments of the 17th century use this technique in the same way.
Running Stitch — Multi-Stitch Method
This version of the running stitch is used when you have relatively thin layers of fabric which facilitate an easy working of stitches. If your layers are too thick, this might not be a good method. This is the manner in which traditional kimono were often sewn.
