The art of joining two pieces of fabric with
an open, lacy decorative stitch is called
fagoting. You can create this attractive
trimming with the feather stitch. Use it
for decorative stretch seams in bathing
suits or for joining together narrow strips
of fabric to make an entire garment
section.
PATCHWORK QUILTING
Patchwork for quilts and wearing apparel,
formerly put together with hand stitching,
can be quickly "pieced" and decorated
at the same time by using the feather
stitch. Joinings are both flexible and
durable when this Flexi-Stitch pattern is
used.
