Ladder Stitch
The Ladder stitch is primarily used for drawn thread
hemstitching. It can also be used for sewing over thin tape
in an opposite or same color. Place the stitch in the center
and a special effect will be obtained for decoration.

For drawn thread work, choose a medium to heavy weight
linen-type fabric. After sewing, draw the thread out from
within the ladder for an open, airy appearance.
