Sewing techniques

[muppet maniac]

I was wondering about different techniques on sewing thread(really tight so that it doesn't come off)...for making puppets

I use a tight baseball stich or a tight spiral, also you may want to practice on som scrap material you can find diagram of these stiches online,also if you search the forums for the infamous "HENSON STICH" I don't think the stich has ever been explained in full.

practice, practice, practice!!!

Here's a diagram of a loop stich hope it helps

hi, try overlock stitches or buttonhole stitches to fasten the seams.
