Overstitch / whipstitch

I use an overstitch (also called whipstitch) to sew felt pieces together. Use a single thread thickness and make sure you sew consistently, that is, the same distance between stitches and the same depth in from the edge, about 0.2cm (1⁄16in) into the felt.
Bring the needle through to the front and then sew from back to front, repeating and working from right to left if right-handed (see Fig.1) or left to right if lefthanded. As you pull the thread through you will feel the tension as the thread is drawn and you can then continue to the next stitch. The thread will sink into the felt.
