    Default How do I blindstitch?

    I can't for the life of me figure how to do this,my stitches look really bad when I try. I may not even be doing it right... Any suggestions?

    Take little tiny stitches into the bottom part of the material, the part that would show and longer between stitches. You dont need to pick up too much to make a seam...Good Luck!

    I knew someone would make a wise crack ELLISE!!!


    Heaven--I was thinking of making some pillows and potholders. I've tried the blindstitching before and my stitches are just to big I guess...

    Robin--The way I did mine was thred the needle through the material (knotted at the end) and go side to side..is that right?
    Or do I go to one side and come back under the first stitch?

    Sorry I am so dumb about this I've seen them make pillows on trading spaces and believe me I look reeeealllly close and try to figure it out,but I can't.

    Someone wanna come over and show me

    ts ts ts
    K ts ts

    K=knot ts= tiny stitch

    Does this make any sense? So hard, I wish you were here!

    You will have long stitches between the tiny stitches, but they wont show.

    My sewing machine does a blind stitch, but I haven't figured it out. Maybe I should try it with my eyes closed.
