Staystitching - A “helper” stitch that isn’t used for major seaming. Staystitching is used to hold layers together so they don’t slide around later when you do the real stitching.

heften
Heften oder "Reihen" bedeutet, Nähte mit schnellen Handstichen vorzunähen, damit sich die Stoffteile unter der Nähmaschine nicht verschieben.

Heftstich, Vorstich


Explanation:
Vorstich
Mit dem Vor- oder Heftstich können Sie zwei oder mehrere Stoffteile zusammenheften, Tasche, Borten und andere Teile festheften oder Linien markieren. Genäht wird von rechts nach links. Die Stiche sind im Wechsel auf der Ober- und Unterseite zu sehen. Die Stichlänge richtet sich danach, wie haltbar die Stiche sein sollen. Mit kleinen Vorstichen können Sie auch einreihen oder einhalten.
