    We were taught this and called it a blind hem stitch in 4-H yrs ago.

    This is the tute I found. Not sure if this is the one she was referring to but it shows how it is done.

    I found this link for a ladder stitch. It is the same stitch I learned as a little girl to hem skirts. I think they called it blind stitching. Anyway it is a nice stitch that looks much better than any whip stitch can.

    Whoops, looks like someone else found the same thing and learned the same thing I learned in 4-H!

    I do this with all my sewing, and stitches do not show. Learned from my dear Mother.

    I learned this stitch 50+++ years from a 4H leader. I've used it sew the opening in stuffed aninmals, dolls, pillows then quilt bindings when I started quilting.

    I saw this a while back and that's the way I stitch the binding too - it really looks better.

    I was taught this way also! It is so easy and creates a clean look when done!
