TIPS ON DESIGN STITCHING

Crescent pattern on collar

This is an ideal decorative stitch for the sleeves and collars of

ladies’ and children’s clothes, and also for tidying up edges.

When using this stitch pattern for tidying up edges, first sew the

stitch and then trim the edge of the fabric along the edge of the

stitch. Be careful not to cut the stitch at this time.

Pyramid on bias tape

Use bias tape and fold back the edge. Sew the pyramid pattern

on top of this.

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 for sewing

both edges of pockets.
