for pockets, buttonholes, and other details
can

marked

with

chainstitch Pasting. The stitching will give a
clearly defined line marking. Yet, unlike chalk
or pins, it will not rub off or become lost as the
fabric is handled. This method lends itself
particularly to use on wools and other fabrics
that do not retain the penetration ma.i-ks of the
needle.
