I learned the blind stitch from someone else, but naturally gravitated to the ladder stitch on my own. I was glad when I found out it was an "acceptable" method of binding the quilt.
For the blind stitch, I traveled in the sandwich, for the ladder stitch, I travel in both the sandwich and the fold.
