In the textile arts, a stitch is a single turn or loop of thread, or yarn. Stitches are the fundamental elements of sewing, knitting, embroidery, crochet, and needle lace-making, whether by hand or machine.〔Picken (1957), p. 322〕 A variety of stitches, each with one or more names, are used for specific purposes. ==Sewing, embroidery, and lace== All stitches made with a sewing needle with an "eye" or hole are variations on seven basic stitches:〔 * Running stitch * Backstitch * Overcast stitch * Cross stitch * Buttonhole or blanket stitch * Chain stitch * Knot stitch These stitches and their variations are named according to the position of the needle and direction of sewing (''running stitch'', ''backstitch''), the form or shape of the stitch (''chain stitch'', ''feather stitch'') or the purpose of the stitch (tailor's tack, ''hem stitch'').〔Readers Digest (1976), pp. 122–143〕 Sewing machine stitches are classified by their structure: *Chain stitch, made with one thread *Lockstitch, made with two threads *Overlock, made with one to four threads *Coverstitch, made with two or four threads (a twine) Fancy machine stitches mimic traditional hand stitches using variations on the basic stitches.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stitch (textile arts)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
