Stitched is an adjective that refers to the act of sewing or joining together fabric, materials, or other items using a needle and thread, resulting in small, regular, or decorative loops or knots. The term can also describe the appearance or pattern formed by such sewing.
In the context of sewing, stitched typically implies the action of securing two or more pieces of fabric or materials by interlacing a needle with thread, yarn, or other suitable material, creating a continuous line or series of loops or knots. This process is commonly used in garment construction, quilting, upholstery, and various crafting projects. Stitching can be performed by hand or by machine, with different types of stitches being utilized depending on the desired effect, durability, or functionality.

This can include simple straight stitches, such as those used in basic seams, hems, or darts, or more complex decorative stitches like embroidery, cross-stitch, or appliqué. Stitched patterns or motifs can be purely aesthetic, serving to enhance the visual appeal of an item, or they can serve a practical purpose, such as reinforcing seams or adding structure or support.

The word "stitched" originated from the Old English word "stician", which meant "to pierce or stab". It is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "stikkōną", which had a similar meaning. Over time, the word evolved to specifically describe the action of joining or mending pieces of fabric or material by piercing them with a needle and thread. Thus, "stitched" came to refer to the act of sewing or the resulting pattern or line of stitches.
