LADDER STITCH
The Ladder stitch is primarily used for drawn
thread hemstitching. It can also be used for
sewing over thin tape in a contrasting or same
color
. Place the stitch in the center and a spe-
cial eect will be obtained for decoration.
Another use for the ladder stitch is couching
over narrow ribbon, yarn or elastic.
For drawn thread work, choose a coarse linen
type fabric and after sewing draw the thread
out within the ladder for an open airy appear-
ance.
