Stitches - Escada stitch  

This is a stitch made between two threads removed in parallel. Between the two threads which set the width, all the other threads are removed, so that only the descending (or ascending) threads remain.
Next, in exactly equal quantities, these threads are caught and tied with plain stitches: it begins to resemble a ladder, from which it derives its names.
It holds hems and trimmings very well.
