LADDER STITCH
The Ladder stitch is primarily used for drawn
thread hemstitching. It can also be used for
sewing over thin tape in a contrasting or same
color. Place the stitch in the center and a spe-
cial effect will be obtained for decoration.
Another use for the ladder stitch is couching
over narrow ribbon, yarn or elastic.
For drawn thread work, choose a coarse linen
type fabric and after sewing draw the thread
out within the ladder for an open airy appear-
ance.
PIN STITCH
The Pin stitch is a traditional stitch pattern
used for picot-like edges and for applique
work.
BLANKET STITCH
The Blanket stitch is traditionally a hand sewn
stitch used to put bindings on blankets. This
multi-purpose stitch can also be used for
couching, applique, drawn thread hemstitching
and creating fringe.
SLANT PIN STITCH
Excellent for hemstitching projects like table
linens. Picot-like stitch can also be made on
sheer materials. Sew along the raw edge
of fabric and trim close to the outside of the
stitching.
