Abstract
A new stitch type and a method of and an apparatus for making same in which the loop is passed through the fabric through one hole and is returned through another hole and then is passed around a thread supply eye so that the body of the loop engages a single strand of the thread which twists around this loop and is drawn into the second hole. Such pairs of holes are spaced along the seam so that on one side of the fabric the stitches are spaced apart, i.e. the thread is alternately visible and invisible whereas on the opposite side the thread is continuously visible.
