UTILITY STITCHES
S
The utility stitches contain the following decorative
stitches.
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.
a
Use an iron to fold the two pieces of fabric along their
seams.
b
Baste the two pieces of fabric, separated by about 4
mm (3/16 inch), onto thin paper or a sheet of water-
soluble stabilizer.
If you draw a line down the middle of the thin paper or
water-soluble stabilizer, sewing is easier.
