EXAMPLES OF DECORATIVE STITCHING
Crescent pattern on collar
This is an ideal decorative stitch for finishing the edges of fabrics, such as those used for table linens or children’s clothing. When sewing this stitch on a fabric edge, first sew the stitch with a stabilizer underneath the fabric. Trim the edge of the fabric along the edge of the stitch, being careful not to cut into the stitching.
Pyramid on bias tape
This stitch can be used for embellishing bias binding or creating decorative borders on garments and home dec projects.
Arrowhead on lapel
In addition to using this pattern as a decorative stitch, it can also be used as a triangular backtack stitch for reinforcing places which can easily unravel. This is particularly useful when securing both edges of pockets.
