Videofaggot stitch

The faggot stitch is a specialized embroidery term used to describe a decorative joining stitch that creates an open, lace-like band between two pieces of fabric. Historically popular for embellishing fine garments like lingerie and blouses, this stitch forms a series of diagonal bars that bind parallel edges together in an elegant openwork pattern. Because the term has become associated with a modern offensive slur, contemporary textile artists often prefer using alternative names like the fagoting stitch or descriptive phrases such as a decorative openwork joining stitch.
