How to Hand Sew (RIGHT HANDED): 18th-century Topstitching Tutorial

- Quick and easy backstitch for topstitching. This is a strong hand sewn stitch. A spaced-backstitch is the stitch used to top-stitch 18th-century and early-19th century jackets and gowns seen on English and European clothing. It is strong, pretty, flexible and quick. I also love to use this stitch to sew seams quickly and on knitwear to stitch strong but flexible seams. Great hand sewing practice for historical hand sewing and better modern hand sewing technique!

This is what I do for my seams. I find this much easier and stronger that exactly meeting the previous exit point of every stitch. I can pick up two threads for each back stitch with four for the underside.
I’m just learning to sew so I can make clothes for my BJD dolls and I don’t have the money for a sewing machine so this is so helpful I will be watching your vids on repeat! Amazing work
Wonderful! I have a bunch of tutorials that will be helpful. Happy sewing!
Same here I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Loving your videos. I combined this with a felled stitch to finish off a hem just today on another of my beginner practice projects, matching the felled stitch exactly to the pricked spacing and it looks *so good*
Amazing!! 🙌🏻
Very well presented...I have a very stretchy knit back seam to mend and I hope this works!
I think this is the stitch I need for a project where I'm hand sewing a gold trim to a white curtain and need very little of the white thread to be noticeable (hopefully invisible) on the front side
Yes! This is perfect for that kind of project.
I know this stitch as a prick stitch. I have used it in a particularly bouncy tweed as a top stitch it disappeared into the fabric.
Beautifully done - thank you👍🏽
Thank you!
Hand sewed a tote bag last year. Used back stitch on the handles. Threads have broken in a few places, and I'm amazed that it's not unraveling! Only problem is that the handles show both sides of the backstitch, and I find the under side of a backstitch rather ugly. This version of a backstitch might be useful when both sides show.
Yeah it’s amazing how strong hand sewing is! This stitch should give you a little less thread on the back however it’s still going to look messy. Sometimes I will sew the outer edge of the handles down with a felling stitch which is the same type of stitches that is used for hemming for appliqué and for seams. I have a video on felling on the channel. And then in the middle for the X on the straps all due a tiny running stitch. Doing a small running stitch allows you to control the web thread looks on the underside. Obviously no one right way but these are some solutions to the problem of an ugly backside.
@@sewncompany Thank you! I've been itching to try another hand sewn tote bag, and I think I will use your suggestions: felling the side together, and then a running stitch on top. A running stitch would look so much nicer. Thank you, thank you again!
@@amandasmith1236 awesome! Yay! Let me know what you think once you do it.
you have a great tallent, respect,and thank you....!
Is this stronger than a running backstich? Thank you
Hmmm good question- I haven’t done science on it but probably? Only because it’s all backstitch vs. some running stitching.
