Accent stitching refers to a technique used in sewing or knitting where small, decorative stitches are added to highlight specific areas on a piece of fabric. These stitches can be simple or complex and often add texture, depth, and visual interest to the design. Accent stitching is commonly used for embellishment, outlining, or creating patterns on clothing, accessories, home decor items, and more. The goal of accent stitching is to draw attention to certain areas of a piece while also enhancing its overall appearance.
