How to Sew on Paper

Sewing is not a skill only sewists and quilters use! It can be applied to all types of crafting! Here at Seams & Scissors, we aim to celebrate all types of sewing. That’s why we invited the editor from AllFreePaperCrafts into the studio to show us how she uses stitching while creating paper crafts! Learn from the experts when you check out this paper stitching tutorial. Paper stitching is the art of using thread and a needle to stitch onto paper, adding some decorative flair with traditional sewing methods by adding them to a non-traditional medium. Paper stitching is gorgeous and is the perfect addition to a homemade card or other paper craft ideas. Homemade card creation is a type of crafting that has become a blockbuster of an activity over the past few years. Instead of spending a few bucks on a silly card without much sentiment, many crafters are opting to put their heart and souls into their cards and the results are spectacular!

If you love to embroidery or are looking for a new way to sew, you’re going to love trying out this method. Our editors had a blast learning from the lovely editor Dana from AllFreePaperCrafts.com! Without further ado click play to Learn How to Paper Stitch with AllFreePaperCrafts!

    Never tried paper stitching myself, but I have received paper-stitched items, and they’re quite nice.

    I haven’t tried it. Looks like a good way to make cute note cards so I think I’ll try it in the future.

    I have tried paper stitching, but it does make a nice project. A good emory pincushion will help keep the needles good and sharp

    I have not done this for many years (think 1960s!) but now that I see it, I can think of dozens of ways to do machine embroidery on card stock. I would never have tried it with a 1960s sewing machine, but the new models have so many more options.

    I haven’t done this since I was very young…I had forgotten about until I saw this. I will be adding to my list of projects (now at 47) and will hopefully be there around summer of 2015.
    Have a great day.

      Shelby, There’s no need to wait until you get better at sewing to try it on paper. Sewing on paper can help you achieve your goal of getting better at sewing in general. Since paper costs less than material, you can better afford to make mistakes. And, much of what you learn from sewing on paper will translate to your sewing on material, as well.

      The one thing to remember about sewing on paper is this: Once you have used a needle for sewing on paper, that same needle is no longer suitable for sewing on material. You do not need a new needle to sew on paper however. You can use your old needle that was from a finished cloth project to sew on paper, saving your new needle for a new cloth project.

    I remember doing this as a kid (not quite a sophisticated as this though!). I think maybe I’ll revisit this technique along with my daughter. Thanks!

    The only time I have done this– was for practice, I was applying to work in a sewing factory.

    Now that I am also trying to make my “one of a kind” cards— I will be doing more.

    no I have not tried it in a decorative way. we stitched on paper 45 years ago in school to learn how to operate the sewing machine. but that wasn’t very decorative.

    I did paper stitching as a child, but the cards were pre-punched. However, its interesting that Thursday I’d been discussing stitching paper onto mat board, possibly embellishing with beads with my niece.

    My mother taught me different stitch patterns on paper 50 years ago. I learned straight, whip, blanket and others this way. I had to learn to sew on paper before I could use cloth. I even had to use paper to learn on our sewing machine.

    Paper stitching looks interesting, could be several uses for it in crafting as well as beginners learning to sew. I just might have to try it myself.
