Couture Sewing

Here you will find sewing tips on various binding applications and Basic Machine Stitches.  

Getting to know essential machine stitches helps you make the right decisions when it comes to sewing your garment.  
We have also demonstrated easy ways of unpicking those confusing, overlapping stitches made by the overlocker and coverseam machines. No need to sit for hours to unpick; with simple instructions of pulling the right threads, your work can be un-stitched within seconds!

Different binding applications

Nazneen's personal favorite is binding. Binding is a delicate finishing method. It provides a dainty border for the necklines, armholes and other detailed features of the garment. It can be applied to finish the garment off from outside and inside.  
We have demonstrated some of the key binding applications used in our work.
