Lock sewing, often referred to as “lock stitch sewing,” is a technique that utilizes two threads—one from the needle and the other from the bobbin—to create a secure stitch. The stitches interlock at the seam, making it less prone to unraveling. This method is widely used in both industrial and home sewing machines because of its efficiency and the neat finish it provides.

At its core, hook needle upholstery involves using a hook needle to pull loops of yarn or fabric through a base material, typically a canvas or burlap. This process not only secures the fibers in place but also adds depth and texture to the artwork. The versatility of this technique allows for a wide range of designs, from geometric patterns to vibrant floral motifs, making it suitable for various upholstery projects, including cushions, wall hangings, and even clothing.
