Summary: Sewing is a very popular craft today. Its origins date as far back as the Paleolithic age (30,000 BC) and the craft is usually used to make clothing or home furnishings today. There are several different methods and stitches involved with 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 for repairing damaged garments or finishing those started by machines.

This free arts and crafts video series will teach you how to thread your sewing machine and tips and techniques associated with the many stitches available to use for whatever your project might be. The clips will walk you through visual examples of many versatile stitches including corner seams and darts and show you the correct way to set up those methods. Watch this video series and see how close you are to starting sewing projects of your own!
