Instructions:
- Choose your type of stitch. I mostly use a straight stitch or zig zag for paper projects. Use an Upholstery thread such as Gutterman.
- Adhere paper together remembering not to glue behind where you will be stitching.
- Lower your needle manually to start and then lower your presser foot down.
- Start slowly and moved around using the guides near the needle to make sure you get a straight line.
- When you’re done sewing, tug the bobbin thread from underneath to pull through the top thread.
- To secure you can tie in a knot or tape down. Try using some fun Washi tape to cover your thread is it will be visible. The recipient will appreciate the pretty colors.

I sew fabrics but never thought to sew on paper but the stitching gives it a very different look. It makes the paper look like it is raised and looks more polished. I can not wait to try it. I know my grand daughter will really enjoy Stitching on paper. This is a great way also to add on those laces and other papers without using glue. I will try the zig zag stitch too. The video gives some great ideas. Did anyone use this technique yet?
