CONTENT OF THE LESSON

                    DEFINITION OF STITCHES
 

A stitch is the journey of two  pieces of materials with a line of stitch. Stitches means  the movement of thread and needle in and out of the stitches.

  

                          MATERIALS NEEDED FOR STITCHES

  THIRD TERM HOME ECONOMICS PRIMARY FOUR

Needle

 

Thread

 

Scissors

 

Ruler

 

Tailor’s chalk or marking pencil

 

Straight pin

 

               TYPES OF STITCHES

1. Temporary stitches

 

2. Permanent stitches

 

            TEMPORARY STITCHES

Temporary stitches are used for joining materials temporarily before the permanent stitch is made. It is

 

worked from right to left, starting with a knot in a contrasting color thread, so that it can be easily

removed.

Tacking or basting is a temporary stitch used for holding two or more layers of

fabric together before a permanent stitch in made. Usually the stitch is worked

from right to left, starting with a knot in a contrasting color thread, so that it can be

easily removed.

PROCESS OF BASIC STITCHES

1. Even tacking

2. Uneven tacking

3. Diagonal tacking

4. Tailor's tacking

1. Even Tacking:

 Use a thin needle and start the stitch with a knot. The stitches are of equal length about  on both sides of the material. Much number of longer stitches can be done at a time. This is used for tacking seams & other details which must be held securely.

 2. Uneven Tacking:

 In this, the stitches on the upper side is  or at least twice that on the underside. This stitch can be used for longer folds & seams. This is comparatively stronger than even tacking. Use this type of tacking as a guideline or where there is little or no strain.

 3. Diagonal Tacking:

While attaching two or more layer of fabrics this type of stitch is made about apart before making machine stitch.

Work stitches through the material at right angles to the fabric edge so that a diagonal or slanting stitch in made on the upper side and a vertical stitch is made on the under side.

4. Tailor's Tacking:

 Start tacking using double thread of contrasting color, so that they can be easily seen. Tack through double layer of fabric along the seam lines using even stitches of  length apart, leave them as loop without pulling it tight. After completing, raise the upper layer of fabric slightly and clip the thread between the layers. So that the thread tufts, will remain on both the layers of fabric and remain as a guide line. This is especially used for marking details between patterns such as dart markings and pleat markings.

    PERMANENT STITCHES

These stitches are made permanent on the fabric and need not be removed later like Temporary stitches. The stitching works from left to right ‘taking a small stitch; then insert the needle at the end of the previous stitch; bringing it out beyond where the thread emerges. Continue always at the end of the previous stitch.

 Some of permanent stitches are 1. Running stitch 2.Back stitch 3. Run and back stitch 4. Hemming stitch 5. Whipping stitch.
