Ladder Stitch

[drhikarisan]

You have proven far more helpful with this one video than numerous sites claiming to teach an invisible stitch. This was my third time attempting to create a pillow and I was finally successful. Thank you

[familylaux]

First time that I have been able to do this properly thanks to your wonderful video! Thank you so much for being so thorough and showing how to sew up those openings.

Anything new since 2009?

[CharonEX]

Thank you so much for making this video! It was so easy to follow 8D I've started learning how to make plushies and this is going to be such a great help for closing up after filling them with stuffing.

[stayplace]

thanks so much for posting this! I just finished making a stuffed t-rex for my boyfriend for Christmas and its my first time using a pattern, this is so helpful because I got to the last step and it said "ladder stitch" and I hadn't the slightest on what to do! Now its adorable and fuzzy and finished!

[suse56uk]

Thank you so much for this video. Have just finished a stuffed felt heart and, for once , cannot see the closing stitches. Thanks to you.

[neverbored2]

Thank you for making this video, very easy to follow.

[AlwaysWillBeADEMIFAN]

Thank you I really didn't understand my home ec teacher! Now I can finish my letter pillow!!!!:)

[bushizacrook]

Thanks so much for your instruction. Very good to see it used on two colors of fabric and how the stitch/seam becomes invisible when properly finished.

[hanseich]

thanx for these instructions. Much easier than I thought.

[Cheshirekat94]

Very helpful tutorial! xD The pillow looked wonderful when you finished!

[deathpandaz]

Thank you SO much! I was trying to stitch two pieces of fabric together and now they are together in perfect harmony because of your tutorial!

[Qaprielle]

Thank you !

[jdvarnerswife]

Very clear instructions! Thank you so much

[roseminty]

Thank you! :D

[nall29]

whats the difference between this stitch and the baseball stitch or the "henson stitch"

[StitchLabSewing]

@nall29 Looks like the baseball stitch leaves a visible stitching on the outside which makes kind of a herringbone pattern of stitches. The Henson stitch (named for Jim Henson puppet making) seems to be a more dense stitch which is super strong and used on fleecy or furry fabrics to hide the seam so the puppets look smoother on camera.

hope that helps!

[nall29]

@StitchLabSewing 5 thank u so much i think i can use this in my puppet building. i was just alittle confused on the differences between what i was looking up

[cullenxx0]

[metalhartrockandroll]

Thank you so much! I am making the Emmeline Apron from SewLiberated...and was almost going to skip the last part where she suggested the ladder stitch and just machine stitch it...but you made it so clear, I guess I will hand stitch after all! Thank you for the tutorial :)

[mizchulita]

Very nice! Got it!!!

[CherieAnn4]

After looking at several videos and seeing nothing clearly, I came across yours. What a difference! Thank you.

[femmebat]

[Songuine]

Thanks, Leslie! You've done a TERRIFIC job demonstrating and describing this. I'm very pleased to be able to link to this from my Boutique Narelle's feature on "Ways to Use a Small Piece of Fabric" -- Scarf Types and Tie Tricks.
