You will find in garment construction that you are doing two types of sewing-
temporary and permanent.
1. Temporary stitching-Usually the longest stitch possible and often done on a
single layer of fabric. The various types of temporary stitching are:
Basting
Stay stitching
Guide line marking
2. Permanent stitching-This is the actual stitching that holds the garment together.
Much of this stitching is visible on the outside of the garment and therefore must
be good looking.
You must remember 'to lengthen the stitch for heavier fabrics, multiple layers of
fabric and thicker seams. Some of these seams are:
Common two layer seams
Curved two layer seams
Top stitched three layer seams
Top stitched four layer seams
