How to ladder stitch by hand

Start by pressing the seams in, as per your projects’ seam allowance. Thread the needle with double thread.

How to hide the knot

Tie the ends into a double knot and trim the little loose tails. Grab one of the edges of the open seam and insert the needle under the seam, from the wrong side of the fabric.

Push the needle out, pulling the thread completely through until the knot is nicely concealed inside the seam.

Start sewing the “ladder”

Push the needle directly across from the starting point at which your thread emerges and grab about 1/8″ of the edge of the seam, just where the fabric folds.

Pull the thread through completely but leaving the thread a little loose between the two edges of the seams.
