Singer 7466 Ladder Stitch, Double Overlock Stitch, CRISS-CROSS Stitch, Crossed Stitch

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.

DOUBLE OVERLOCK STITCH

The Double overlock stitch has three main uses. It is perfect for attaching flat elastic when making or repairing lingerie, for overcasting and for seaming and overcasting in one operation. It is primarily used on slightly stretch fabrics and non-stretch fabrics such as linen, tweed, and medium to heavy-weight cotton.

CRISS-CROSS STITCH
