fagoting
Decorative stitch joining
Fagoting is a decorative needlework technique that joins two pieces of fabric with crisscrossed threads, leaving an open lattice between them.
The stitches create a delicate ladder-like pattern, often used on blouses, linens, and heirloom garments: The dress featured fagoting along the bodice seams.
Also spelled faggoting.
