How to Sew some Decorative Stitching

If you understand the basic stitches you will know that decorative stitching is using more or less the same type of stitches but decoratively on garments or different items.

Decorative stitches could be from a Zig zag stitch to detailed embroidery stitches and it can be made by a sewing machine or by hand. The sewing machine will be much quicker but by hand it could also be very neatly done like in the olden days.

If you stitch by hand it takes more time but you are more accurate when only working on one small section at a time. If I use my sewing machine and I want to use decorative stitches on an item I sew slower to make sure it looks right from the start. Embroidery machines is much quicker if you want to do embroidery stitching but the machines are quite expensive compared to a normal sewing machine. All depends on what type of decorative stitches you want to use. So decide first and then see what would work out best for you.

For top stitching I normally use a different color thread and a little bit thicker and my stitches are normally little bigger/longer. On jeans and jackets top stitching really looks quite nice for me and most of the time I use my sewing machine for that. When I want do some embroidery I have to do it by hand but it's really not that difficult but it does take time depending on your design. I have seen production embroidery machines and they are wonderful and really quick but like I said embroidery machine are very expensive here.

So to really enjoy decorative stitching, decide first what would work for you best and your pocket. Sewing machine are expensive especially if you are a beginner and only want to try it first. I would suggest first try hand decorative stitching or maybe go for classes or even borrow fiends sewing machine.You don't have to start with difficult patterns and stitches. Try something as simple as the zig zag stitch in a different color on you garment and see what big a difference that can make.

Also be patience in the beginning, it does take time to get all the stitches neatly done. Take your time with you project and see it as a relaxing hobby for yourself. Enjoy each new project that you start with and you'll see it's quite addictive.
