I wasn’t sure whether or not to write a post about this, but in the end decided to because it’s one of those skills that you really do need to know because it’s impossible to get the same result with a sewing machine. I was making pillows a few weeks ago and was reminded why this stitch is so essential. When you need to finish off a project where you can’t see the seam, this is the stitch to know.

If you need to close up a seam with an invisible stitch, then the ladder stitch is perfect. For sewing the lining closed in the bottom of your bag when you have turned it the right way out, or for closing the bottom of a pocket, or even for closing a  pillow or soft toy when you’ve added the stuffing.  The ladder stitch is perfect for all of these and many other sewing projects.

This is one of the hand sewing stitches that I use the most. It’s incredibly useful for closing up the opening left after turning a project right side out when you want to avoid the visible stitches of topstitching.
