Talmud for Moed Katan 1:8

הַהֶדְיוֹט תּוֹפֵר כְּדַרְכּוֹ, וְהָאֻמָּן מַכְלִיב. וּמְסָרְגִין אֶת הַמִּטּוֹת. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אַף מְמַתְּחִין:

A hedyot (a non-professional) sews (on Chol Hamoed) as he always does. [A hedyot is one who cannot hem a garment so that it is straight and well-aligned; but it emerges crooked, broad in one place and narrow in another.] And a professional "dog-stitches." [He makes stitches like a dog's teeth, which are not aligned, but one higher and one lower.] And beds may be girthed, [interlaced with bands]. R. Yossi says: They may be tautened. [If it had stood girthed for several days and the bands had loosened, he may tauten them; but he may not girth it. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yossi.]
