You will need to know the "blind stitch" for the pleats. Diagonal basting or Tailor's stitch for all the basting. And of course the straight line sewing stitch. The back stitch is used to lock down the material and also gives you a finer stitch than the sew stitch. The button hole stitch is used around the hole in the canvas. The catch stitch is used for the hems.
Good luck,
