This type of stitch is a great technique for closing a seam. It is also called a blind stitch, as it is sewn from the inside of the garment, making it invisible. To make it, you make evenly spaced stitches and, as you proceed, you will see the scale forming. It’s very easy to make. If you are new to sewing, all you need is a little practice and you will master it in no time. This technique is ideal for soft toys, pillow covers, slipcovers, bindings and pillows. If you’re wondering if it’s durable, yes it is! Learn to sew with the ladder stitch with this tutorial from Koumori No Hime Cosplay. Read on or watch the video below for full instructions.

Instructions
Phase 1:
Start by inserting the thread into the needle and knotting the ends, as you would for any sewing project.
Second step:
Press the seam allowance inward with your fingers for the top and bottom fabrics. You can also iron it before sewing the edges. This will facilitate the sewing process.
Step 3:
Open the hole and insert the needle through the bottom of the top fabric. Then take the needle and insert it into the bottom fabric, picking up a little material, close to where the folded area is.Image by Koumori No Hime Cosplay via Youtube
Step 4:
Then collect some material from the top and continue this process. It should start to look like a ladder, as the name suggests, then pull the thread to close the gap. Continue doing this until the gap is closed, then tie a knot. Next, make another stitch to secure everything and cut off the excess.
