Hello! I need some help on how to close up an opening in a cushion using a hand stitch that will not show. I'm not very good at hand sewing and would appreciate any help. Thanks! |

I would use a blind stitch for the closing. Here is a link that shows some different kind of stitches. http://www.fiber-images.com/Free_Things/Reference_Charts/handsewing_stitches.htm Summer Summer

I think the Even slip stitch is the one I use for this type of closure you go from the fold on one side to the fold on the other side to keep all even which I like. and I also use small stitches to keep from having gaps..I also take an extra stitch across the two surfaces just to keep the whole thing from pulling out.. I do this every inch or so..
