Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In ____ stitch, each of the stitches is made opposite to the general direction of stitching.

Answer: Back

Back stitch is generally used for outlining. The pattern is two units forward and one unit backward. It highlights the area inside, though it can also be used to join pieces of fabric.
2. This temporary stitch is meant to be removed.

Answer: Tacking stitch

Also called basting stitch, tacking stitch temporarily holds a seam or fabric in place. It is also used to attach brand labels on sleeves, or hold together skirt pleats during display. It can be X-shaped to act as a marker, almost invisible from outside.
3. Which is the stitch forming the basis for all other types of sewing?

Answer: Running Stitch

Running stitch is as simple as moving the needle up and down through the fabric! Its applications range from seams and patchwork to quilting.
4. Which of these is a type of stitch?

Answer: Blanket

Blanket stitch generally defines the edge of thick material, like blankets. It is also used in swimsuits, sweaters and home furnishing. It serves as a decoration as well.
5. This stitch resembles an x or the plus sign.

Answer: Cross stitch

A uniform cross stitched pattern looks like a tiled area from a distance. Each 'cross' consists of two diagonal stitches crossed over each other.
6. Which stitch is nearly invisible?

Answer: Blind stitch

Blind stitch joins two pieces of fabric without the thread showing. The stitch is hidden in the folds of the fabric. Alternatively, long stitches on one piece and short stitches on the other enable it to be almost invisible as a whole.
7. Which of these stitches involves fixing worn out areas or gaps in fabric?

Answer: Darning stitch

Darning stitch employs the running stitch from one edge of the hole to the other, thus filling out the area with thread. At the end of an edge, the direction of the stitch is reversed. A mass of thread thus hides the deformity.
8. Which is a valid stitch name?

Answer: Topstitch

Towards the outer edges of necklines and hemlines, topstitch gives a decorative and professional look. It is generally used in finishing.
9. Which stitch prevents cut edges from fraying?

Answer: Overcast

Overcast stitch loops around the edge, keeping it neat. The fabric is thus kept from unraveling.
10. Which stitch gives firmness to layers of material?

Answer: Pad stitch

Pad stitch is also used to enhance the curvature of layers of fabric, as a whole. Smaller and denser stitches create more firmness. A jacket's lapel and under collar are usually padded.
