This Stitch is Perfect for Turned Quilt Projects and More!

Quilt projects that are turned instead of bound are great for quick finishes. However, that often leaves an opening that needs to be hand-sewn shut.

Many hand stitches will be noticeable and detract from a polished finish. However, a ladder stitch will virtually disappear, which makes it invaluable for turned projects of all kinds (also known as the blind, slip or invisible stitch).

It’s simple to do, too. You’ll find excellent instructions in the following article from Sew4Home.

Or watch the video below from Online Fabric Store to see exactly how a ladder stitch is made.

You’re sure to find many uses for this stitch and will be glad to have it in your repertoire.

We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
