Bar tack

In sewing, bar tack, also written bar-tack or bartack, refers to a series of stitches used to reinforce areas of a garment that may be subject to stress or additional wear.[1] Typical areas for bar tack stitches include pocket openings, buttonholes, belt loops, the bottom of a fly opening,[2] tucks, pleats and the corners of collars.[3] Bar tacks may be sewn by hand, using whip stitches, or by machine, using zigzag stitches.[1] The process for sewing a bar tack is essentially to sew several long, narrowly-spaced stitches along the line of the bar that will be formed, followed by short stitches made perpendicular to the long stitches, through the fabric and over the bar.[4] The bar commonly varies between Lua error in Module:Convert at line 452: attempt to index field 'titles' (a nil value). in width and Lua error in Module:Convert at line 452: attempt to index field 'titles' (a nil value). in length. In some garments, such as jeans, the bar tack will be sewn in a contrasting color.
Similar stitches to the bar tack include the arrowhead tack and crow's foot tack.[5]
