You probably need stitches if the wound appears to not be closing on its own, e.g., if the edges of the laceration are not coming together, and the wound is deep. The idea of sutures is to bring the edges of the wound together so not as much tissue-fill has to occur. So if the wound is deep, more reason for sutures. Note that, from the time of the injury, you have about 10-12 hours to get sutures. After that, sutures won't generally work.
you need stiches when you obviously cut yourself! if your cut is very deep and keeps continueously bleeding. stiches are not so bad. I've gotten three stiches on my thumb. they put a needle in your wound to numb it and start stiching. all you would feel is a little pinch but not much. it is interesting to watch. !!! :)
Allow 4 weeks at least if you want the wound to have some strength. I have frequently been told to have stitches removed after as little as 7 days but in doing this you run a risk the wound will split open when you have any exertion or movement. Full strength of the join in the skin does not occur for around 6 months. If the wound is in a place where the skin is not prone to being stretched, then there is some justification for removing stitches after 7 days, such as on your scalp.
If the wound is below the dermis and has spread open, you'll likely need sutures.
When the wound appears open and deep, and/or when controlling bleeding is a recurring problem. Any wound more than about 7mm deep is probably a candidate for sutures.
if the cut reaches the muscle layer of the skin
if it wont stop bleeding for an hour
if the cut is really deep and wide.
if u see can see ur bone
If you break your arm you usually get just a cast. Unless you go in for surgery you won't usually need stitches.
You can make dropped stitches, which are super simple if you know how to do yarn overs.
Then you probably didn't need stitches.
I Don't know but i need to find the answer too - have a feeling its a female designer
Try casting on twice as many stitches. Be sure to count the number of stitches it takes to make a full pattern and see that your total number of stitches is evenly divisible by that number of stitches per pattern. In fact, I sometimes do the math before I take the time to cast on all those stitches. (Didn't they tell us in elementary school that we really would need to know arithmetic? LOL!) And, of course, you will take into account any of the stitches which create a border.
depending on the cut
You have listed sewing and first aid as the categories. What sort of stitches are you talking about?
I would say to the fat tissue at least for stitches. If it is any shallower it can be closed with glue or steri strips.
Stitches are a common medical procedure used to close wounds and cuts. They involve using a needle and thread to sew the edges of the wound together, which helps the skin heal and prevents infection. There are several types of stitches, including running stitches, lock stitches, and interrupted stitches. The type of stitch used will depend on the location and severity of the wound. After the stitches are placed, they usually need to be kept clean and dry for about a week. Then, the stitches are typically removed by a medical professional.
You can't brush your teeth until the stitches dissolve. You need to ask a dentist for this info.

Until the doctor tells you they can be removed. They will inform you of this fact when you get the stitches. If you weren't listening, call their office and they will let you know.
