peer agreement (net): +1bridging stitch; decorative stitch[ing] Explanation: Pfaff gives bridging stitch as the equivalent of "point cocotte." And while I certainly do believe Pfaff, I don't think that is what we would put in an clothing advertisement. Plus, in some of the French sites that I looked at, it appeared to be a type of double needle top stitching, and not a type of herringbone stitch used to connect two pieces of fabric. Also, I found a site that used a different machine stitch for the bridging stitch. So, I would simply say that there is decorative stitching wherever dictated by the text. Body à mancherons volantés. Un dessous qui se porte sans rien dessus, c'est pratique et c'est fait pour ! Finition point cocotte à l'encolure ronde et à l'entrejambe pressionné. Mancherons volantés et froncés. Broderie contrastante poitrine. Fermeture pressionnée haut du dos. http://www.okaidi.com/VAD/Soldes-Obaibi/Body-a-mancherons-vo... Point cocotte Pour assembler, coudre des bordures décoratives et invisibles et le crazy quilt. http://www.pfaff.com/ch/fr/media/performance_2058/performanc... Bridging stitch For bridging, decorative hemstitching and crazy quilting. http://pfaff.com/ca/en/media/Online_broschure/performance_20... Bridging Stitch – The bridging stitch is used when butting two pieces of fabric together to eliminate bulk, to insert lace, or to sew over elastic. http://members.tripod.com/~Cat-Sew/pdfs/d1bk41.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2008-09-04 14:33:17 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- You're welcome, Victoria, and thank you :-) |
