When your sewing there are some areas on your clothes that you want to make sure has an EXTRA STRONG hold. Luckily there is a stitch for that! It is called the BACKSTITCH. Your going to use this in practically anything you make, not only clothing.
The backstitch happens at the beginning and end of each seam. When you start your seam you should do 4 or 5 stitches and then backstitch back to the beginning. Most machines have a button that looks kinda like a u-turn symbol. (My machine I have to press it in while I sew, my mom’s super cool new machine stitches all on its own when you press the button). This gives the stitch a little extra hold so the threads aren’t able to unravel. Some people do this multiple times, I think one time up, one back, and back up is sufficient.
