But not so tight you are having a hard time making the next stitch. They need to be tight enough that the thread isn’t floppy. When making the stitches, you do not want them to be tight or sloppy. Use a thread colour that matches the fabric as close as possible. Double thread will provide extra strength. However, if the seam is going to have a lot of wear or there is strain against the invisible stitches, use double thread. You can use either single or double thread to create an invisible stitch. To make the stitch as invisible as possible, follow our tips. The invisible stitch should be very hard to spot. When you let go, the thread should pull back inside the project. Pull the thread taut and snip off the excess. To finish the invisible stitch and hide the tread, insert your needle down through the knot and out through the side of your project. Make two more knots through the knot you just made, securing the thread.ġ1. Instead of pulling the thread tight and working into the opposite side, bring the needle through the loop to create a knot.ġ0. At the end, insert the needle and pick up a bit of fabric, as you have done for every stitch. Then work on the next few stitches and pull taut. Once you have made 3-4 stitches, pull your working thread taught to close the stitches, making them invisible. Continue working back and forth across the opening. Pick up a little fabric and come back out the same folded edge.Ĩ. Insert the needle into the opposite folded edge directly across from the last stitch. The stitches should run perpendicular to the folds and look like the runs of a ladder. Pick up a little fabric and come back out the same folded edge. Insert the needle down through the opposite folded edge, pick up a little fabric, and come back out the same folded edge.Ħ. Starting at one side, insert the needle up through one of the ironed edges, so the knot is hidden inside the project.ĥ. Hold the 2 folded fabric edges together, so they are even and aligned.Ĥ. If possible, iron the fabric to get crisp folds.ģ. It is always better to have too much thread than not enough.Ģ. Knot the end, so you cannot pull it through the fabric.

Just be patient and always make sure you are taking the needle through the creases of the folds.ġ. The invisible stitch is an easy stitch that a beginner can quickly master.
