Any sewers out there? This is to do with "basting stitching" on ballistic vests" It's obviously about starting and finishing the stitching, but does anyone know the correct terminology?
"Al het stikwerk dient deugdelijk te zijn aangehecht en afgehecht, tenzij anders aangegeven"
"Al het stikwerk dient deugdelijk te zijn aangehecht en afgehecht, tenzij anders aangegeven"

end stitches
See my previous answer - I should have entered only beginning (or start) stitches there, and finish or end stitches here...
