Abstract
In a bar tacking stitch pattern comprising lateral stitches formed in a sewn product in such a way as to cover the starting and ending portions of overedge chain stitches which are formed on the periphery of a button hole in the direction substantially at right angles to the extending direction thereof and zigzag stitches which cross the lateral stitches, a pair of stitches of the zigzag stitches are formed on both sides of an end portion of the button hole adjacent thereto in such a way as to be substantially symmetrical with regard to the button hole and a pair of stitches of the lateral stitches are formed on both sides of the end portion of the buttonhole adjacent thereto outside the area between a pair of line segments which respectively extends through the pair of stitches of the zigzag stitches in the extending direction of the button hole. As a result, stitches of lateral stitches are not formed in the portion of the sewn product adjacent to the buttonhole which is in a weak condition so that it is possible to form a stable and uniform bar tacking stitch pattern so as to improve the quality of the sewn product.
