Modern Tutorials
Since most of us don’t have a home economics teacher to help us with our work, here are some modern tutorials for the techniques covered in this leaflet.
Double Back Stitch by Busy Mothers World
This video is quite shaky but it covers the technique better than any others I could find.
Closed Herringbone Stitch by RMPV Creations
Satin Stitch by Make It Coats
Hem Stitch by Make It Coats
This tutorial works under four threads, whereas the leaflet works under three threads.
