hemstitching. It can also be used for sewing over thin tape in
a same or contrasting 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.
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 fabrics with slight stretch and non-
stretch fabrics such as linen, tweed, and medium to heavy-
weight cotton.
CRISS-CROSS STITCH
Use to sew and finish stretch fabrics or for decoration,
especially for borders.
CROSSED STITCH

borders.
