CHAINSTITCH APPLICATIONS
Here are several ways in which you will fine
chainstitching
quicker
than
either
regular
straight stitching or hand basting.
Garment Fitting
Time
and
energy
can
be
saved
when
chainstitching is used to baste garment sec
tions or muslin shells for trial fittings. The
firm.ness of the stitch ensures accuracy in fit
ting. yet the stitching can be ripped out in sec
onds if adjustments are necessary.
Constryctioii Gyidelioes
in many instances, construction guidelines
for pockets, buttonholes, and other details
can
be
advantageously
marked
with
chainstitch Pasting. The stitching will give a
clearly defined line marking. Yet, unlike chalk
or pins, it will not rub off or become lost as the
fabric is handled. This method lends itself
particularly to use on wools and other fabrics
that do not retain the penetration ma.i-ks of the
needle.

stay Stitcliing
Chainstitching can be used to stay-stitch
neckhnes,
shoulderlines,
and
waistlines
before gar.meni assembly. Flexible, yet firm,
this stitching will hold the original shape of
these areas and prevent stretching.
