How to Sew a Blindstitch

Sewing a blind stitch is relatively easy. This stitch comes in handy when you want to prevent ridges from showing at the hemline on the outside of the garment.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Needle
• Garment
• Thread

1. Fold the garment right below the hem line (about 1/4") and secure it with your thumb.

2. Starting from right to left, fasten the thread in the hem.

3. Take a tiny stitch about (1/4")to the left of your garment.

4. Take the next stitch 1/4" away from the last stitch.

5. Continue, alternating from garment to hem, keeping an even space between stitches.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep the stitches even spaced as uneven spaces will show in your garment.
• Do not pull the thread too tight as this will create a bulky look to your garment.
