Conclusion:
All the stitches are used for producing different kind of seam. As a student of textile en-
gineering ,we have to know about all the stitches and have to know what kind of
stitches are required to sewing what kind of fabric. By this experiment we have learned
many of things. This knowledge helps us in our future life.
