Decorative Stitching    87

Stitching across an open seam is called “fagoting”. It 
is used on blouses and children's clothing. This stitch 
is more decorative when thicker thread is used.

Baste the two pieces of fabric, separated by 
about 4 mm (3/16 inch), onto thin paper or a 
sheet of water-soluble stabilizer.
If you draw a line down the middle of the thin 
paper or water-soluble stabilizer, sewing is 
easier.
