Things You'll Need:
- Needle
- Thread
- Fabric
-
Step 1
Turn up your allotted amount for a hem, and press it with an iron.
-
Step 2
Use your needle to catch a few threads from the underside of the top layer of your fabric, and push the needle through.
-
Step 3
In a slightly angled motion, catch a few threads about a 1/4-inch from the outside of the hem you pressed up earlier, and pull the thread through.
-
Step 4
About another 1/4-inch away, pick up another few threads from the underside of your top fabric and push the needle through. The result should start looking like a series of wide Vs.
-
Step 5
Continue pulling your needle through threads from the underside of your top layer and top of your hemmed layer every 1/4 to 1/2-inch.
-
Step 6
A finished catch stitch should barely be noticeable.When you are done, tie a knot with your thread.
-
Step 7
At the end, tie a knot by wrapping your thread around the needle.
