That's the only way I have ever done hand stitching. Knowing how to do that got me a job repairing antique quilts. On totally utility quilts I do machine stitch along the fold line. :D

Ami Simms has a book how to do this for invisible applique. This is the way I was taught to hand sew for the thread not to show.

Here is a video how to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZovYFJZ5-jk

I was taught to hand stitch like this by my mother or grandmother - can't remember which one and have always used it.

I discovered that technique about 5 months ago - it works great - before that I didn't even hand sew but this seems to work for the back of my binding.
