proper Explanation: Dave, aanhechten is attach, of course. So the beginning and end stitches need to be properly attached, which comes down to properly "finishing" the beginning and end stitches (deugdelijk aanhechten c.q. afwerken van ... tja, de aan- en afhechtingen. Aanhechten is attach, afhechten is finish... Depending on what kind of stitching is involved, this requires back and forth stitching, or making some kind of loop. Hope this helps. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2012-04-17 07:05:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If they work on parts (I am not sure who the instructions are for) they may just leave the ends loose for further work later on, for example. So yes, that makes sense. |

securely Explanation: NL-Eng Van Dalen says 'sound' but I think that 'secure(ly)' is more appropriate as it describes the desired result. Is used a lot amongst needleworkers. 'Properly' is open to misinterpretation to my mind. Heaps of Google hits for 'secure stitching/stitches'. Is also used in place of 'fastening on' and 'fastening off' but I think that 'fastening' is more specific in that context as you can also 'secure' a line of stitches halfway along./ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2012-04-17 15:53:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 'Fastening (on/off)' is more specific in the context of beginning and ending a section of stitching. I hope my meaning is now more clear. |
