Secret connection

A blind stitch, or as it is called, a fluff stitch, is a sewing technique in which hidden stitches of a permanent nature are formed. Each element of the connection is formed using a thin thread. More experienced needlewomen do not pay attention to this nuance and use any type of material.

The color of the thread should match the color of the fabric of the product or lining. The connection itself is localized in those places where it is necessary to fix the layers or parts of the product unnoticeably. Thanks to the fluff stitches, the connection of the parts is done neatly, which prevents the shape and silhouette of the thing from shifting, skewing and deforming during use.

It is necessary to sew without a seam:

• if the jacket has split along the seam. The only option to carefully repair the damaged part is to use a fluff seam;
• when sewing a knitted or hand-sewn hat, this sewing technique will also come in handy;
• if a sleeve, trousers, pants or skirt has come apart at the seam, then the defect can be removed using this unique option;
• when you need to hem a dress or skirt, shorten the length of the legs, then this type of processing is simply irreplaceable;
• when creating things using the patchwork technique, you also need the skills to form exactly this type of stitches;
• This type of stitch can be used to repair a torn toy. However, you should be careful not to let the filling get ruffled.

Not many people know how to sew a blind stitch by hand, but it is advisable for everyone who wants to look neat and wear whole things to master this technique. In sewing, this is simply an irreplaceable type of processing and joining of different types of parts.

Concealed connection by hand

To neatly repair clothes, it is worth knowing how to sew a blind stitch using a needle and thread. It is not difficult to learn this technique if you perform the work stages in accordance with a simple algorithm of actions.

The same type of seam can be used when joining parts of knitted items. Sometimes a hook is used instead of a needle. Yarn of any color can be used as a connecting thread.

To make an invisible seam in needle sewing, you need to do the following:

1. First, you need to prepare the fabric correctly. The work will be done from the front side, so the fabric should be smoothed out well. In this case, the fabric allowances should be ironed to the wrong side;
2. the first stitch is formed from the back side of the parts. This is necessary to hide the knot of the thread. The needle itself is brought out from the front side;
3. insert the needle from the front side into the second piece at the same level. The needle should come out from the wrong side of the seam;
4. along the fold of the second piece from the back side, step back 2-5 mm and make a straight stitch. In this case, the needle will be brought out to the front part of the seam;
5. Further work is carried out in accordance with this scheme. You can finish by placing several stitches from the inside or making a knot.

When the entire gap is stitched in this way, the thread should be pulled tight. The hole will tighten, and the folds will hide an invisible seam in the sewing. The degree of tightening should be adjusted. If you pull the thread too tightly, the work area will be deformed. But the thread will definitely not be visible.

Sew with an invisible stitch on a sewing machine

Even a novice seamstress can form an invisible seam using a sewing machine. You only need to know a few nuances. To figure out how to sew without a seam using a sewing machine, you need to prepare the right tools and make the appropriate settings for the device itself. In particular, this applies to the foot.

Careful preparation of the tool is also necessary. In addition to choosing a foot, it is worth performing a standard check of the device for operability. Then you can proceed to consider the settings that are made, for example, on the Janome sewing machine:

The instructions themselves on how to sew two pieces of fabric together with an invisible stitch on a sewing machine consist of the following steps:

1. Bend the fabric in the desired shape and iron it well. Then turn this part over. A clear line remains on the canvas, along which the stitch will be formed.
2. Next, the material is laid. Here it is worth using a certain pattern so that the seam is precise and hidden. The pattern is presented below.
3. When sewing the seam itself, you need to make sure that the needle only catches a few threads along the ironed fold. Otherwise, the thread will show through on the front side of the garment.

To make this type of connection of parts on a sewing machine, you can use other types of feet. There are even universal designs of this type.

Naturally, the time spent on forming a hidden stitch option on a machine is reduced several times in comparison with the manual version of the work. At the same time, the result looks more aesthetically pleasing - the line is uniform, and the stitches are of the same length. But not every needlewoman has such a device in her arsenal, so mastering the manual type is also necessary.

To repair clothes, connect parts or hem parts, you need to use a unique stitch option. This is a hidden stitch, which can be formed manually and on a sewing machine. A hidden stitch is made manually and with a machine in accordance with a certain pattern-algorithm.
