The slip stitch is almost invisible; if you didn't look for the seam you wouldn't see it.
It's a great stitch for hemming, finishing off pillows, stuffed animals, waistbands and anything where you need to make a closure that can't be done with a sewing machine.
To make the slip stitch simply thread your needle and tie a knot at one end.
With work in left hand, working from right to left and bring the needle and thread through one folded edge.
Going in on the opposite side catch 1 or 2 threads, then bring the needle back into the fold and slip about 1/4" of material onto the needle before bringing it back out again along the same edge. Continue this method until seam is finished.
