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
T h e l a d d e r s ti t c h i s p ri m a r i l y u s e d f o r dr a w n t h r e a d
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.

supple seam, particularly suited to swimwear, sportswear,
T-shirts, babywear in stretch nylon, stretch toweling, jersey
