The basic process of sewing involves the fastening of fabrics, leather, furs or similar other flexible materials with the help of needles and threads. Sewing is mainly used to manufacture clothing and home furnishings. In fact, sewing is one of the important processes in apparel making. Most of such industrial sewing is done by industrial sewing machines. The cut pieces of a garment are generally tacked or temporarily stitched at the initial stage. The complex parts of the machine then pierce thread through the layers of the cloth and interlock the thread. Stitching is the process of passing the threaded needle in and out of material to make a specific design pattern.
