Roumanian Joining Stitch

Drawing by Martin Hense.
The Roumanian joining stitch is a variation on the Roumanian stitch, in which the stitch is used to join two pieces of cloth. The stitches can be worked close together or with a little distance. The nature of the stitch means that the join is ‘hinged’ and is flexible. It may be used, for example, to join together a bodice and a sleeve, or for sewing two pieces of fine cloth together to use as a head and body covering.
