French term or phrase: quadrillage de surpiqûres.
Hello
I am translating a website concerning various garments to be bought on line or from a catalogue.

The full sentence is

Effet matelassé pour ce blazer en laine XXX rendu unique par son quadrillage de surpiqûres.
"quadrillage de surpiqûres." is something to do with the stitching on quiltin ie a quilted blazer but I can not think of any suitable wording

Can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks
Gail

Another suggestion.

Joelle Murray - Woerterbuch der Mode

Langenscheidt Textil und Mode dictionary
Surpiqûre - topstitched seam (machine-stitched on the right side, e.g., on the edge of a collar for ornamentation, or on either side of the seam for general purposes).

agree  Rachel Braff: I've seen "topstitching" used much more often for sewing than "overstitching", which I've seen mainly in a knitting context.
