Make Seams Disappear: How to Sew an Invisible Stitch

Are you ready for a sewing magic trick? In this quick tips and tricks video, we'll show you how to hand-sew a seam opening closed so that the seam completely disappears. This is an incredibly helpful technique to know when sewing pillows and cushions. It hides the seam after you've stuffed the pillow so that you don't see any closing seam on your pillow. Let's get into it!

This useful sewing technique is also known as a blind stitch, ladder stitch or mattress stitch. It's a very helpful technique to know if you make pillows or cushions. This hand-sewing technique takes a bit more time than machine-sewing your pillow opening closed, but the extra time and effort are worth it. You'll have a professional-looking pillow where you can't see any of the seams.

You only need a couple of notions to create an invisible seam. First, you'll use the same thread you used to machine-sew your pillow cover. Next, you'll need a curved hand-sewing needle. And finally, you'll need fabric clips or sewing pins to hold your hem together while you stitch. We like using fabric clips because they hold your fabric layers together well and they are quick and easy to remove as you're hand-sewing across the pillow opening.
