Back to Basic Stitches
Objective of class – Using utility and basic stitches for traditional and non-traditional applications.
Utility stitches are used for techniques such as blind hem, quilting, overcasting, etc. However, they can also be used for other things. You will create a sampler notebook in this class. We will use the utility stitches for what they were intended for, i.e., blind hem, hemming and seaming knits, etc. Then we will show you other ways to use the stitches such as in your quilting.
