Ladder Stitch; Blanket Stitch - Singer 7256 Instruction Manual

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 special 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 appearance.
PIN STITCH

like stitch can also be made on sheer materials. Sew along
the raw edge of fabric and trim close to the outside of the
