STITCHING TERMS

RS/WS: Right side/wrong side of the fabric. The right side usually has the print, design or texture and the wrong side is usually plain or duller in appearance.

Finish the seams: Finish the raw edges with a zigzag stitch or an overlocker.

Press: Pressing fabric is placing the iron down, holding it for a few seconds, lifting it and placing it down again. Ironing is sliding the iron back and forth.

Stay stitch: Stitching in areas prone to stretching such as necklines to hold the fabric in shape while it is being worked on.

Topstitch: Stitching usually from the right side of the garment to hold seam allowances in place or can be used for decorative purposes.

Toile: A test garment, often made from calico or muslin to check the fit or test a pattern before the real fabric is used. Known as a muslin in the US.
