BLANKET STITCH
The decorative appearance combined with practical use of this
stitch enables it to be used for hemstitching and to applique a
quilt.
FEATHER STITCH
This stitch can be used for topstitching and for attaching lace
and trims.
It is also ideal for quilting applications and for edge-joining.
PIN STITCH
The Pin stitch is a traditional stitch pattern used for picot like
edges and for applique work.
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.
NOTE: Be sure to sew accurately along the grain line, if you
wish to draw out threads.
