LOCKSTITCH Meaning and Definition

  1. A lockstitch refers to a specific type of stitch formed by a sewing machine, producing a secure, neat, and uniform seam. It is widely used in various textile industries and can be found in sewing garments, upholstery, and even leather goods. The lockstitch is formed by the interaction of two separate threads - an upper thread and a lower thread, also known as the bobbin thread.

    Lockstitches are characterized by their interlocking pattern, where the upper thread passes through the fabric layers and interlaces with the lower thread, creating a tightly secured stitch. This intertwining ensures a sturdy seam that withstands tension and prevents the unravelling of fabric.

    The lockstitch technique is achieved through a specialized sewing machine that has a hook mechanism. The hook mechanism engages with the needle thread under the fabric, pulling and intertwining it with the bobbin thread to create the lockstitch. This combination of upper and lower thread loops gives the stitch its strength and durability.

    Lockstitches offer several advantages, including their ability to produce clean and uniform seams, resistance to unraveling, and high tensile strength. They are popular in industries where strong and reliable stitches are required, such as in the production of clothing, linens, and other textile products.

    In summary, a lockstitch is a sewing technique formed by the interaction of two threads through a specialized sewing machine. It creates a secure and durable stitch widely used in textile production.

Etymology of LOCKSTITCH

The word "lockstitch" can be traced back to the Middle English period of the English language. It is derived from the combination of two words: "lock" and "stitch".

The term "lock" originates from the Old English word "loc", which referred to a fastening device or a mechanical device that secured or held something in place. Over time, "loc" evolved into "lock", meaning a device used to secure or fasten.

The word "stitch" comes from the Old English word "sticca", which denotes a puncture or a pricking of fabric using a needle and thread. "Sticca" is derived from the Proto-Germanic word *stik-, which has the same meaning.

When the two words "lock" and "stitch" are combined, they form "lockstitch".
