So can anyone explain or better yet illustrate a Blindstitch for me? I’m getting ready to do prairie points and the back is finished with this stitch, so...

Are you sewing by hand or by machine?

The article I read said blindstitch, but didn't specify. The in the ditch on top will be by a machine.

I'd like to learn to do it by hand.

Check your owner's manual for machine settings. In blindstitching, the bulk of the thread is caught on the unseen side, and just a dot shows on the surface. If you are wearing pants, chances are the hem was blindstitched.

No special tricks, just practice on some scrap first and you should be fine.

Seems like blind stitching in quilting would be kind of like needle turn applique. I just alternate sewing right in the fold of the fabric with sewing through the backing. Tiny stitch through the back so there's only a dot of fabric and fairly small stitches in the folds. I did a search for blind stitch and it brought up a couple of suggestions. But I wasn't sure if any of them were what you meant.

Ditto this word for word. You already had the right idea Steve. I use that same stitch for needle turn and binding too.

So there isn't any difference between a slip stich and blind stitch? I'm confused.

'Zactly, Steve. You've already been doing it. You are even experienced!

:lol:
