Techniques

Loose loops of thread sewn through pattern and fabric layers to mark construction points such as darts and pocket placement, removed once the marks are transferred.

Visible stitching worked on the right side of a garment, often with a longer stitch length or heavier thread, used to reinforce seams and add decorative definition.

A seam finish made by folding the raw edge of the seam allowance under a small amount and edge-stitching it in place.
