Hi there, I have been looking for a site that would show me various hand stitches. The current pattern that I have calls for a “ladder stitch” to close the seams after I have stuffed the pillow.
Can you help me…..

I think that they are meaning the that you weave the needle in and out of the fold on either side of the seam line
This is the first time I am trying to paste an online address so I hope it works.

The stitch is very easy and when done invisible
Many thanks, I tried the stitch and it is so easy and produces great results.
Thanks again....
