How to sew a catch stitch: read below 👇
A catch stitch is a common hand sewing technique used for hemming, which creates a zigzag pattern on the underside of the fabric. It is strong and flexible, making it suitable for both non stretch and stretch fabrics, and is nearly invisible on the outside of the garment.
Before sewing the catch stitch, finish the raw fabric edges, then fold and press the hem at the seam allowance. Use a matching thread to sew the catch stitch.
A catch stitch can also be called a flat catch stitch or a herringbone Stitch. This technique involves taking a small amount of fabric from each side of the seam or hem, creating a zigzag pattern that lies flat against the fabric, resulting in a clean, professional finish.
