Fagoting
Stitching across an open seam
is called "fagoting". It is used on
blouses and children's clothing.
This stitch is more decorative
when thicker thread is used.

the fabric pieces with a gap of
4mm (1/8 inch) and baste
them onto a piece of thin
paper or water-soluble
stabilizer sheet.
- Align the center of the presser
foot with the center of the two
pieces of fabric and begin
sewing.
- After sewing, remove the
paper.
