French tacking is used to attach the take-off lining to the product or to fix pockets in the seam. This processing method, in addition to practical purposes, also plays a decorative role.
Thanks to such fastenings, the lining of the coat or jacket will remain detachable, but at the same time while wearing the product will remain in place, and the pockets in the seams will not wrap around the back. In addition, the French tack is used instead of loops for tying the belt on the coat.
Along with the name "French tack" is often found and completely different - "brid". In fact, bridges are air stitches, the so-called jumpers, which are used in embroidery richelieu. Although these two concepts are different, they are similar in execution and appearance.

French bindings (bricks) are performed manually with the help of a thread, a needle and fingers:
Step 1
Fasten the thread in the fabric of the folded edge of the product and make a small stitch. Fasten the thread without a knot.
Step 2
Start the chain with a small stitch “back to the needle”, stretch the thread to form a loop of approx. 10 cm
Step 3
Pass the index finger and thumb of the left hand into the loop, grab the thread with the middle finger and pull it through the loop.Pull this loop until the first chain loop is formed at the bottom.
Step 4
Similarly, complete the following loops. Pulling a new loop, tighten the previous one, forming the links of the loop chain.

Step 5
When you get the chain of the desired length, thread the needle through the last loop, pull the thread and fasten the air loop.
The length of the brid between the lining and the hem of the product should be 2.5 to a maximum of 4 cm.
In a coat with a flying lining, it is enough to make 2-3 brids - along the line of the middle of the back and along the side seams.
