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 medium to heavy weight
linen-type fabric. After sewing, draw the thread out from within
the ladder for an open, airy appearance.

especially of borders.
