Invisible stitch, also known as the ladder, slip, blind, or hidden stitch is one of the most commonly used stitches. It is very ideal when you are sewing together the seams and want to hide the stitches at the same time. It looks very neat and professional-looking, plus, it is super easy to do as well! This tutorial by OnlineFabricStore on YouTube will show you exactly how to do it easily.
Materials:
- Fabric
- Needle and matching thread
- Scissors
Directions:
Step 1
The first thing you’ll need to do is to iron or hand press the fabric where you want the seam to be, then double thread the needle, and knot the end. Bring the needle up through one of the ironed edges, then go to the opposite side, and insert the needle through the top of the fold. Next, go directly across to the other side and do the same thing, repeat this a couple more times, the trick to this stitch is when you go from side to side, go straight across so the thread is perpendicular to the folds. As you pull the thread, the stitches will disappear.

Step 2
Now, continue this process down the opening making sure to pull the thread taut every couple of stitches, when you get to the end, pick up a bit of fabric like before. Then at the last stitch, bring the needle through the loop of the thread so you form a knot, and then repeat this, going through the knot you just made. Repeat this to make sure it’s extra secure, then hide the tail of the thread. To do this, go down through the knot, then out of the side of the fabric, and snip the tail of the thread.
