Dutch term or phrase: afgehecht
Any sewers out there? This is to do with "basting stitching" on ballistic vests" It's obviously about starting and finishing the stitching, but does anyone know the correct terminology?

"Al het stikwerk dient deugdelijk te zijn aangehecht en afgehecht, tenzij anders aangegeven"
