FEATHER STITCH
The pleasing appearance of this stitch enables it to be used
for top stitching, or attaching lace or inset panels when making
lingerie.
It is also ideal for quilting applications and Joining fabrics.
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 coarse linen type fabric and
after sewing draw the thread out within the ladder for an open
airy appearance.
BLANKET STITCH
The Blanket stitch is traditionally a hand embroidery stitch
used to put bindings on blankets. This multi-purpose stitch can
also be used for attaching fringe, attaching edgings, couching,
applique and drawn thread hemstitching.
