Chain stitch

Encyclopedia : C : CH : CHA : Chain stitch

In sewing and embroidery, a chain stitch is a series of looped stitches that form a chain. It can be used decoratively or constructively. The chain stitch is also used with rope as a method of storage. It prevents the rope from tangling but can still be untied easily and rapidly.
