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.

Used to sew and finish stretch fabrics or for decoration
especially of borders.
SEWING ON A BUTTON

you) to make sure the needle clears both the left and right
openings of the button. Adjust width if required. Sew 10
stitches across.
If a shank is required, place a darning needle on top of the
button and sew over top of it.

Helpful Hint: To secure thread, pull both threads to
the backside of the fabric and tie together.
