It is worked from left to right on the wrong side of the fabric usually above a hem. First, draw out the required number of threads above the hem marking and tack the hem close to the first pulled-out thread. Bring needle out through the hem at the left edge. Then pick up the desired number of threads on needle, passing needle from right to left under the threads and bringing it up. Insert the needle under the hem just to the right of the threads you have encircled and bring it up. Pull the sewing thread tight around the drawn threads. Again pick up another group of threads and continue stitching until the row of hem stitching is completed. This is a single hem Hem Stitch and its variations stitching. To do double hem stitching turn the work around and repeat hem stitching along the other edge, grouping together the same threads as before. Variations of the hem stitch can be made by grouping threads in different ways.
