Whipstitch symbolizes a needlework technique that involves creating small in and out
stitches to firmly join two cloth pieces together. This approach provides strength and stops the fabric from coming apart. The overcast is used for a range of sewing projects, including sewing the hem, stitching appliques, or even making coverlets. It provides a clean and expert look for the finished item.
