GUIDE TO OUR FINISHES
The classic satin stitch finish
A decorative embossed stitch that can be made with several different widths. This finish is created using a special machine that makes zigzag stitches extremely close together. It is solid and the colors of its threads are guaranteed not to bleed. This type of stitch is reserved for high-quality items as it requires special know-how and takes a long time to make. Satin stitch is one of Anne de Solène's specialties. The entire line of Vexin plain-colored linen is made with this finish.
Double rib
Two thick cotton strands inserted behind the pillowcase for an embossed look. Double rib is a sophisticated, high-end finish. This finish takes a long time to complete as each rib must be made separately.
Ladder stitch
A delicate finish commonly found on lingerie, made using a special punching machine that perforates the fabric then embroiders the stitches.
Piping
A strip of fabric padded with a string to create a small ridge. Piping is inserted on the edges of pillowcases or other linen to harmoniously highlight cut-outs or prints. It can be made of satin or velour, and come in different thicknesses.
Bias
A somewhat wide strip of fabric sewn onto the edge of the item to make it more beautiful. Bias is inserted on the edges of pillowcases or other linen to harmoniously highlight cut-outs or prints. It is made of satin, grosgrain, or velour.
Coverstitch
A zigzag stitch made by a special machine. This finish is similar to satin stitch. However, since its stitches are not so close together, it can be made more quickly than satin stitch.Il s’agit d’un point zigzag effectué par une machine spéciale.
Simple stitch
As its name suggests, a basic stitch. This finish is often featured on frilly pillowcases.
