In sewing and embroidery, a chain stitch is a series of looped stitches that form a chain. It can be used decoratively or constructively. Compare lockstitch.
Consequently, when the idle chainstitchessewed into the cloth are pulled for some reason after sewing has been completed, the idle chainstitch sequence T sewed into the hemstitch seam by being embraced between the lower cloth surface and the hemstitch sewing thread is pulled out of the foremost edge of the cloth.
However, the idle chainstitch sequence T located to the left side of the needle location N is moved in the cloth feed direction while remaining in a skewed attitude, as shown by the double-dotted chain line, so that the idle chainstitch slips out of the hemstitch seam without being sewn into the seam.
The proximate end of the idle chainstitch sequence is embraced by the upper surface of the needle plate 10 and the lower surface of the retainer 18 and the sequence T is shifted to the right in the drawing.
Slip Stitch (sl st): Is the most frequently used to join rows, or to skip invisibly from one part of the work to another.
Knot Stitch (k st): Variously known as Hail Stone or True Lovers Knot, is made thus: Having one loop on the needle, draw it out to the length of 3 ch, thread over the needle and draw through, making an ordinary chainstitch, drawn out to three times its normal length.
For 2d and succeeding stars count stitch on needle as 1st, take 2d through the eye of last star made (under the 1 chain), 3d under back part of last, perpendicular, loop of preceding star, and 4th and 5th in next 2 stitches of chain.
