Not a blind stitch which is used to sew a hem like in pants and curtains etc. and looks quite different.

It looks to me, from your pictures, you are going around in circles, kind of like an invisible whip stitch. A ladder stitch (which is my favorite) has you going back and forth under BOTH sides of the folds, not just one side of the fold. This keeps the stitches straight and eliminates pulling or "leaning" to one side of the fabric.<br /><br />Thanks for the tute - very helpful!Peggihttp://www.seamstobeyouandme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-5329209602975792942011-02-18T13:37:23.521-05:002011-02-18T13:37:23.521-05:00Thank you so much for this!
