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.

Machine tack: Use a long stitch length to hold a section in place. Don’t backstitch.

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 the movement of sliding the iron back and forth to remove creases.

Understitch: Stitch close to the seam line usually on the side that will be on the inside of the garment such as the facing. This will hold the seam allowance in place when the garment is worn.

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