| My daughter does Civil War tours. I am making her a pinner apron. I am having a hard time finding typical stitch counts or sewing methods used then. I usually sew all by hand, but have a sewing machine.
She would like her things to be as authentic as possible.

| Hand-sewing seams was done by a fine running stitch - 10-12/inch with an occasional backstitch to prevent wobbly seams. Sewing machines existed, straight-stitch only. So it's your choice of techniques. |
