Useful for decorative stitching on borders
and for use in heirloom sewing. The
Entredeux stitch is most often sewn with
a Wing Needle (SINGER Style 2040) to
create holes in the stitch pattern.
Used primarily for decorative machine
stitching.
Helpful Hint: A adjustment of
the tension will increase the size of
the hole when using a Wing Needle.

The Ladder stitch is primarily used for
drawn thread hemstitching. It can also
be used for sewing over thin tape in a
contrasting or same color. Place the stitch
in the center and a special effect will be
obtained for decoration.
Another use for the ladder stitch is
couching over narrow ribbon, yarn or
elastic.
For drawn thread work, choose a coarse
linen type fabric and after sewing draw the
thread out within the ladder for an open
airy appearance.
