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 at the start and end.
Finish the seams: Finish the raw edges with a zigzag stitch or an overlocker. Some sewing machines have specialist overcasting stitches that can also be used.
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.
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.
