I Thought Stitch in the Ditch meant in the Seam

This blind hem foot can really help. See the little flange on the bottom? That rides in the seam and you adjust your needle to sew right beside it.

That is an excellent point! It's interesting to me I was so excited to learn to quilt I just did it and didn't question it. There's always more to learn.
I wonder what the purpose is, of sewing directly on the stitching line of a pressed open seam in garment sewing? I don't see that you'd be engaging any fabric with the thread, but just sewing over thread.[/QUOTE]

Stitch-in-the-ditch is a term that should have a definition, but I can't find it in Burda's sewing terms defined. However, the videos and tutorials I found showed it to be stitching into the seam just like you would with a stitch in the ditch foot. So at least there seems to be a common understanding that's like you all understand it.

I would say so, as there is no ditch (lower area) to stitch in with a pressed open seam.
