English

Subject field(s)
  • Sewing Techniques and Stitching
CONT

Pickstitch can look like any of the backstitches; the only difference is that the stitch is not taken through to the underlayer of fabric. Primarily a decorative backstitch, it is ideal for topstitching and hand-understitching, where only the top part of the stitch should be seen.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques d'exécution et points de couture
CONT

Le point renforcé invisible ressemble aux autres points arrière, sauf qu'il ne traverse pas, comme eux, toutes les épaisseurs. Ce point arrière très décoratif est recommandé pour surpiquer et sous-piquer à la main, quand seule la partie supérieure du point doit être apparente.
