2. Marking chalk: This is also called as Tailors Chalk. As color pencil, this is also used for marking seam lines and other pattern details on fabrics as an aid in stitching. This is available in assorted colors in rectangular and triangular shapes. This can be selected according to the fabric color. The edges can be sharpened for drawing straight and curved lines easily.

2. Back stitch: The back stitch is strong and sometimes substituted for machine stitch. It takes much time. Care must be taken while stitching, since stitching is done on the right side of the fabric. On the wrong side of the fabric the stitch is similar to stem stitch. Stitches should be about 1/8 long on the right side. To make the back stitch, push needle up through the material at a point on the stitching line about 1/8 from its right end. Take a stitch inserting the needle 1/8 back of the thread at the beginning of the stitching line and bringing it out an equal distance in the front of the thread. Repeat this way, keeping stitches uniform in size and fairly firm.
