How Do You Blind Stitch By Hand?
Learn the art of blind stitching by hand to hem skirts like a professional seamstress. The stitch is also used to hem drapes, repair tears and sew on labels. Apply appliques on children’s clothes or on crafts with the blind stitch. Embellish a wedding gown using this stitch. Quilters often use the blind stitch when creating an heirloom design. Practice to perfect this century-old art when sewing your next project. Use the blind stitch to hem a skirt or pants. Fold, pin and press the fabric to the desired length. Roll the edge of the hem slightly and take a very tiny stitch in the fabric as you work from right to left. Select a thin sewing needle to enable you to pick up a single thread. Work to the left of the first stitch as you continue to make a small stitch on the fold and pick up a one-thread stitch on the fabric. Create small but slightly loose stitches. The stitches should barely be seen on the right side of the hem. Sew appliques or attach a variety of embellishments and trims
