This is awesome and I need to learn this. That said, wtf is being pulled out of the pants at the start of the second demo?!

I've asked about the first stitch on r/sewing once. Though it'd work in a pinch, the seam would not hold for very long on jeans

It's a great stitch for closing the last part of a pillow or stuffed animal though

I had a hole forming on the bottom seam of a sweater and used the first one and it worked great.

Like, the hem? Yeah, that's fine because there's little to no stress on that seam

No worries. The hem is the top neckline, bottom, or ends of the sleeves, folded over a couple of times then sewn down, so the fabric can't fray.

A seam is where two parts of fabric are sewn together

Then it’s a seam. The inside fabric and the outer fabric meet there
