Below you will find images of trims commonly used in the apparel industry and their definitions. The definitions of applique, Merrow edge, embroidery, fashion knit collar, and picot edge are found on this blog entry.


Applique:  Applique is a cut out decoration, or design, that is sewn over fabric.
Merrow Edge: The Merrow edge is a decorative machine stitch that is used on the edge of fabric to give it a finished, uniform appearance. See image above of a Merrow Edge.
Embroidery: Embroidery a decoration, or design, that is added to the fabric by hand, or by machine, using thread or yarn.
Fashion Knit Collar: A fashion knit collar is a fashionable collar which is made by knitting the yarn


Spaghetti straps: Spaghetti straps are very thin fabric tubes that are used instead of wider straps for a barer fashion look. 
Picot Edge: A picot edge is a clean finish produced on the edge of a fabric ply by 
means of a closely spaced, shallow bite overedge stitch. A picot edge can be used for a finish on a hem, collar, cuffs, pockets, ruffles, lingerie, garments of silk or satin, sheer fabrics, shawls, and sashes.
