How to: The Whip Stitch

     The Whip Stitch is used to sew the edges of garments together (such as the bottom of a purse or the sides of a sweater). It is really, really easy. You will need a large-eyed needle to do this.

     First, place the edges of the garment on top of each other.

     Then, insert your threaded needle through the first stitches on both the front and back edges.

     Pull the yarn through and repeat on the next stitch.

     Your sewn up edges will look like this.
