Ladder Stitcli

This

stitch

gives

a

very

effective

means

of

sewing fake furs and soft leathers to produce

a seam with no bulk. It is also very effective

in a contrasting color as a decorative accent

for special seams, such as raglan sleeves or
for applying an edge trim. (Fig. 109)

Place the bulk of your fabric to the right of

the

needle

and

the

raw

edge

so

that

the

needle will swing off the fabric at the left.

(Fig. 110) The left side of the stitch will be

formed off of the fabric to provide a very

strong seam with only a tiny seam allowance.

Pull the seam open from the right side until

the “rungs” of the ladder appear. The “rungs”

become

a

decorative

accent

if

a

contrasting

thread is used. On fake fur, the nap can be

pulled up with a needle to hide the stitches

and create an invisible seam.

Purpose

Hemstitching

By using a very large needle and a fine thread

an openwork effect can be attained which is
beautiful

for

sewing

the

hems

into

table­

cloths,

napkins,

placemats,

handkerchiefs,

etc.

Use a large needle, size 18 or 20, and a fine

cotton

thread.

Tighten

the

upper

tension

slightly,

until

the

stitch

looks

better

on

the

underside than on top. (You will be sewing
with your fabric face side down.)

Turn up 1 inch then turn up 1 inch again to

form a hem of a double thickness of fabric.

The

bulk

in

comers

can

be

eliminated

by

trimming away the excess, as shown, (Fig.

111) after having folded the fabric on all sides.

Stitch from the wrong side, so that the straight

stitch

forms

on

the

single

layer

and

the

zigzag

bites

on the double layer. (Fig. 112)

Stitch all the way to the edge of the fabric

along all sides. (Fig. 113)

Topstitching

The overlock stitch can be used to topstitch

non-raveling fabrics such as felt or leather into

place for appliques or pockets.

Stitch so that the straight part of the stitch is

formed over the edge of the leather, and only

the zigzag part holds it on. (Fig. 114)
