independent set longstitch
Note (en)
Note
A longstitch binding in which each set is sewn separately, and there is, therefore, no thread between the sets inside each gathering. It is possible to find some examples in which either the first or the last gathering is sewn continuously from head to tail, linking the two otherwise independent sets.
