  6. ·         600- Flat Seam Stitch
  7. ·         700- Single thread Lockstitch

Stitch class-5

It is formed with one or more groups of thread and for general characteristics has loops from at least one group of thread which pass around the edge of the material.

Stitch class-6

 It is formed with two or more groups of threads and for general characteristics has two groups cover the raw edges of both surface of material. Loops of first group of thread are passed through loops of third group already cast on the surface of the material and then through the material where they are interlooped with loops of the second group of thread on the underside of the material. However, 601 have only two groups of thread and function of third group is performed by one of the threads in first group.
