BLANKET STITCH
The decorative appearance combined with practical use of this
stitch enables it to be used for hemstitching and to applique a
quilt.
HONEYCOMB STITCH
1. Make several rows of gathers across the fabric that you
wish to smock.
2. With a narrow strip of fabric directly under the line of
gathering, stitch over the gathers. The design will be a
series of small diamonds.
SLANT OVEREDGE STITCH
Seams and overcasts in one operation to produce a narrow,
supple seam, particularly suited to swimwear, sportswear,
T-shirts, babywear in stretch nylon, stretch towelling, jersey
and cotton jersey.
TURKISH STITCH
The turkish stitch has three main uses. It is perfect for
attaching at elastic when making or repairing lingerie; and for
overcasting and for seaming and overcasting in one operation
on slightly stretch fabrics and non-stretch ones such as linen,
tweed, and medium to heavy-weight cotton.
