Techniques

Built-in or programmed machine stitch patterns, such as scallops or embroidery motifs, used to embellish a garment's surface or edges.

A row of straight stitching worked very close to a finished edge or seamline, used to keep facings flat and add a crisp, defined line.

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.
