Bind a hole

 So it might be a little weird that one week I am talking about how to fix a hole and now I am talking about making a hole. There are times though when it is almost demanded that you make a hole in your work, from button holes to eye-let holes you need them to help with closures of items. I am not only going over how to make an eyelet hole but how to bind it once the hole is created.

What you will need

  • 1 awl or scissors
  • Thread
  • Needle
  • Scissors
  • Whatever you are putting a hole in.



And let us begin
Directions I

Directions 2, 3 and 4.
1.Take your awl or the point of your scissors and push it through your fabric creating your hole
2.With your thread and needle thread it so that the first stitch starts ¼ of an inch from the hole

3.Insert your needle down the hole that you have made and bring it up next to your first stitch wrapping the thread around the needle and pull up. Your stitch should look like a little L inside with the top of the L going into the hole.
4.Repeat going around till you meet up with your first L.

5.As you form your last L place the needle in next to the where you just brought up your final stitch up and cover your stitch again. Close of your stitch and repeat as needed and have fun.


Place your finial stitch right next to your last L
