A stitch sample is a piece or pieces of material on which one or more structural or decorative stitches are worked, usually in a random manner, and then fastened together in some manner (perhaps pinned or stitched together). Such samples are generally intended to remind the embroiderer of how to work the stitches and are used for private information and purposes.
