i've never sewn by hand before, but as i want to make a crochet-project-carrier-arounder and my sewing machine is all not at college, i'm going to have to do it.

however, i have no idea how to produce any sort of stitch that will hold. my best guess is to go in and out of the fabric so the thread would should up something like this: - - - - . but i can't imagine that would hold very well, so if anyone could explain different stitches to me and how to do them, i'd love them forever.
