(5) Fishbone Stitch. (See Figure 0015 00-8).
This stitch is used to join edges of a tear
unit; a patch can be applied. Insert needle
between two edges of material to be sewn
together. Take a diagonal stitch from one
side toward the other, bringing the needle
out between the two edges. Repeat this
operation on the opposite side, and
continue alternating stitches from side to
side. To keep the stitches uniform, hold
the edges smoothly together. Make
stitches firmly, but do not pull them tight
enough to pucker the fabric.
