G L O S S A RY in alphabetical order

Back-St i tch (machine sewing) - Add strength to a seam by sewing in reverse for a few stitches at the beginning and end of that seam.

Ladder-St i tch - Ideal for holding two folded edges together. Insert threaded needle into folded edge and poke it back out one stitch-length further. Slip needle through opposite fold, sl ide it one stitch-length inside fold and poke it back out. Repeat until seam is closed. Pull stitches snugly so folded edges meet and thread doesn’t show. Great for closing stuffed objects.

Mark - There are many ways to place construction marks on fabric. I prefer to sl ightly clip the seam allowance where possible to show the placement of a mark. My second preference is to mark the location with a water-soluble marker. Third, I use tailor’s tacks—with a needle and thread, stitch a loose stitch for each mark. Leave a long tail of thread so thread mark can be removed when project is completed. Other methods include chalk, pencils, tracing wheels or pins.

Top-St i tch - A stitched line that runs parallel to a fold or seam. Top-stitching is decorative, but it also helps hold layers of a project together. Sometimes a double needle is used and/or thicker thread.

Whip-St i tch - Join two pieces by stitching from one to the other with the needle perpendicular to edges being joined. whip-stitch
