Rantering is a type ofstitching made to conceal aseam line that runs across thegrain of the joined pieces of fabric.[1] Rantering stitches take hold of thenap of the fabric and pull it closed over the seam. After this process, the tailor willcard or scratch the rantering to blend the nap around the seam with the rest of the fabric.[2] A rantering stitch would also be used in the process of mending a garment to conceal seam lines produced in that process.[3][4]
