Blindstitch
#4
Check your owner's manual for machine settings. In blindstitching, the bulk of the thread is caught on the unseen side, and just a dot shows on the surface. If you are wearing pants, chances are the hem was blindstitched.
No special tricks, just practice on some scrap first and you should be fine.

Seems like blind stitching in quilting would be kind of like needle turn applique. I just alternate sewing right in the fold of the fabric with sewing through the backing. Tiny stitch through the back so there's only a dot of fabric and fairly small stitches in the folds. I did a search for blind stitch and it brought up a couple of suggestions. But I wasn't sure if any of them were what you meant.

When I use the blindstitch to sew down the back of my bindings, I do it by hand. I hide the knot first, then take a small stitch into the fabric of the quilt - and only go thru' one layer. When I come up, I slide my needle thru' the fold of the binding a short way (less than 1/4"), then come out & back thru' the quilt. "Lather, rinse, repeat" so to speak! lol :wink:
