DECORATIVE STITCHING
* You should carry out a test sewing on a scrap piece of the
fabric being sewn, to check the stitch pattern to be used.
* Before starting to sew, check that there is enough thread
wound onto the bobbin to make sure that the thread will not
run out during sewing.
EXAMPLES OF DECORATIVE STITCHING
Crescent pattern on collar
This is an ideal decorative stitch for finishing the edges of
fabrics, such as those used for table linens or children’s
clothing. When sewing this stitch on a fabric edge, rst sew
the stitch with a stabilizer underneath the fabric. Trim the edge
of the fabric along the edge of the stitch, being careful not to
cut into the stitching.
Pyramid on bias tape
This stitch can be used for embellishing bias binding or
creating decorative borders on garments and home dec
projects.
Arrowhead on lapel
In addition to using this pattern as a decorative stitch, it can
also be used as a triangular backtack stitch for reinforcing
places which can easily unravel. This is particularly useful
when securing both edges of pockets.
