FEATHER STITCH

The pleasing appearance of this stitch enables it to be used for top stitching, or attaching lace or inset panels when making lingerie.

It is also ideal for quilting applications and joining fabrics.

PIN STITCH

The pin stitch is a traditional stitch pattern used for picot-like edges and for appliqué work.

BLANKET STITCH

The blanket stitch is traditionally a hand-sewn stitch used to put bindings on blankets. This multi-purpose stitch can also be used for attaching fringe, attaching edgings, couching, appliqué and drawn thread hemstitching.

LADDER STITCH

The ladder stitch is primarily used for drawn thread hemstitching. It can also be used for sewing over thin tape in an opposite or same color. Place the stitch in the center and a special effect will be obtained for decoration.

Another use for the ladder stitch is couching over narrow ribbon, yarn or elastic.

For drawn thread work, choose a coarse linen type fabric and after sewing draw the thread out within the ladder for an open airy appearance.

SLANT OVEREDGE STITCH

Seams and overcasts in one operation to produce a narrow, supple seam, particularly suited to swimwear, sportswear, T-shirts, babywear in stretch nylon, stretch toweling, jersey and cotton jersey.
