Blind stitches, also known as invisible stitches, are a type of hand sewing technique that allows you to sew two pieces of fabric together without any visible signs of stitching. This technique is particularly useful for hemming, attaching trims or bindings, and repairing tears or holes in delicate fabrics. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you learn how to sew blind stitches like a pro.

Step 1: Thread your needle

Choose a thread that matches the color of your fabric and thread your needle. Cut a length of thread that is about two times the length of your fabric piece. Knot the end of the thread.

Step 2: Position your fabric

Position the two fabric pieces you want to join together with the right sides facing each other. Pin them in place to keep them from shifting as you stitch. Use a fine quality needle, preferably one with a sharp point to easily go through fabric layers.

Step 3: Insert your needle

Insert your needle into the folded edge of one of the fabric pieces, coming out at the edge where you want your stitch to start. Be sure to catch only a few threads of the fabric so that the stitches don’t show through on the other side.

Step 4: Make your first stitch

Make your first stitch by inserting your needle into the other fabric piece, near the edge where the two pieces meet. Make sure your needle goes through only a few threads of the fabric so that your stitch does not show through on the other side.

Step 5: Bring your needle back

Bring your needle back up through the folded edge of the same fabric piece, slightly to the side of the first stitch. Then, insert your needle into the other fabric piece again, just below the first stitch.

Step 6: Repeat

Continue stitching in this way, bringing your needle up through the folded edge of one fabric piece and then down through the other fabric piece in a zigzag pattern. Keep your stitches close together and be sure to catch only a few threads of the fabric each time to avoid visible stitches on the other side.

Step 7: Knot your stitch

When you reach the end of your stitching, knot your thread by making a small stitch through both fabric pieces, and pull your thread tight. Then, cut off the excess thread.

Step 8: Iron

Iron your seam to give it a neat finish, once stitching is done. This will also help to keep the stitches in place.

Blind stitching can seem difficult at first, but with a little practice, you will quickly get the hang of it. Remember to use small, even stitches and to catch only a few threads of the fabric each time to help make your stitches invisible on the other side. With a little practice, you’ll be able to sew blind stitches quickly and efficiently, making all your sewing projects look professional and polished.
