Online resources for sewing n00bs?

[rydra_wong]

Okay, I'm not a complete n00b -- I've been making and mending things on and off for a while -- but I know very few stitches, have no clue what they're called, and have a tendency to slip from one to another in mid-hem.

(Possibly the appropriate term would be "feral seamstress".)

Are there any good websites (or YouTube videos, even) showing different stitches and techniques?

Hand sewing stitches or sewing machine stitches?

I found a few that had good diagrams...
http://www.alternative-windows.com/stitches.htm
http://sewing.about.com/od/techniques/tp/handsewing.htm (links to different ones if you scroll down)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sewing_stitches (this one has pics but no how-to's, mostly sewing machine stuff)

Hand-sewing. Thank you for the links!

Hand sewing stitches or sewing machine stitches?

I facepalm at my failure to state the really relevant and obvious bit of information. This is an indicator of how feral I am!

Sewing machines are above my tech level *g*.
