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 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.
