Chainstitch
Basting
The chainstitch is ideal for basting, e.g. in the provisional assembly of garments for fitting, when sewing
costumes or with alterations to be made. Due to the loop structure of the stitch, the seam can be undone
simply by pulling the looper thread.
2-Thread Chainstitch
The 2-Thread Chainstitch looks like a straight stitch on the right side of the fabric, and on the wrong side it
forms a chain. With a decorative thread in the chain looper and the needle, the chainstitch looks more
distinctive and is more prominent. With such a chain looper/needle thread combination many creative
possibilities are given. Due to the loop structure of the stitch, the seam can be undone simply by pulling the
chain looper thread.
