Fagoting

Stitching across an open seam is called “ fagoting” . It is used on blouses and children's clothing. This stitch is more decorative when thicker thread is used.

1Use an iron to fold the two pieces of fabric along their seams.

2Baste the two pieces of fabric, separated by about 4 mm (3/16 inch), onto thin paper or a sheet of water-soluble stabilizer.
