Techniques

An invisible hand stitch worked between two folded edges, drawing them together in a closed seam commonly used to close stuffed items or linings.

A seam formed by overlapping two folded or finished edges and stitching through both layers, leaving no bulk underneath; used on interfaced or leather pieces.

A zipper insertion in which one side of fabric overlaps the zipper tape, concealing it under a flap of fabric, commonly used at side seams.

Detached chain hand embroidery stitch anchored with a small tacking stitch at the loop's end, commonly grouped in clusters to form petals or leaves.

A rippled, wavy hem edge created by stretching a knit fabric while stitching a narrow zigzag or rolled hem, causing the edge to curl and flute.

A separate inner layer of fabric that finishes the inside of a garment, hiding seams and construction while adding comfort and reducing friction against the body.
