To do stitches on clothes, first thread your needle and knot the end. Then, secure the thread on the fabric by making a small stitch and pulling it through until the knot stops it. For a basic running stitch, push the needle up through the fabric, then down about a quarter inch away. Repeat this action to create a series of stitches. To finish, make a small stitch on the wrong side of the fabric, loop the thread through to make a knot, and cut off the excess.
