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
Used to sew and finish stretch fabrics or for decoration
especially of borders.
CROSSED STITCH
Use to sew and finish elastic fabrics or for decoration of
borders.
