Properties of Plain weave: 1. Both sides are reversible until fabric is painted or printed from right side. 2. Fabrics have high abrasion resistance. 3. No yarn slippage. 4. There is no distinct design unless yarns have contrasting colors or thickness.

11. Seed stitch: This simple filling stitch is composed of small straight stitches of equal length placed at random over the surface. This stitch is used to fill small spaces. 12. Couching: Lay a thread along the line of the design and with another thread, tie it down at even intervals with a small stitch into the fabric. The tying stitch can be of contrasting color to the laid thread if desired.
