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 featherstitch. Use it for decorative stretch
seams in bathing suits or for joining together
narrow strips of fabric to make an entire gar­
ment section.
• Turn under (and hem by hand slipstitching)
the raw edges of the fabric strips or seams
to be joined. Press flat or you may zig-zag
raw edges.
• Baste two fabric edges to be joined onto
tissue paper leaving approximately 1/8-
inch (3mm) gap between the two edges.
Stitch, guiding two fabric edges under the
center of presser foot. Allow the needle to
alternately make a stitch in each fabric strip
and two stitches in the center of the open­
ing. The tissue paper should be gently
pulled away when fagoting is completed.
Patchwork Quilting
• Cut a fabric underlay to size. Baste a light
layer of padding to underlay if a quilted
effect is desired.
• Prepare patches, turning under 1/4-inch
(6mm) seam allowance. On non-woven
fabric this step is not necessary.
• Baste patches to underlay in arrangement
desired, butting all edges.
• Stitch in lengthwise and crosswise rows,
allowing stitches to straddle patches.
