1 Gather Your Materials
Gather Your Materials
- 1 sewing needle.
- 1 spool of thread in a matching color.
- A piece of fabric of your choice, or the item you wish to mend.
2 Let’s Get Started
Step 1 Locate the Area to Mend, and Thread Your Needle
Locate and Thread
Carefully identify the area that needs mending before threading your needle. The size of the mend will determine the length of thread required. For hidden stitching, it’s best to use a single thread.
Step 2 The Art of Hidden Stitching
Master Hidden Stitching
Begin by inserting the needle from the underside of the fabric to the top. Then, poke the needle down about 0.1mm away from the initial point. Next, loop the needle up about 0.2cm away, and create a circle with the thread underneath the needle. Pull the needle up through the circle. Repeat this process.
Step 3 Finish Off
Finish Off
To complete the hidden stitching, simply pull the thread straight. Repeat the above steps as needed. To end the stitching, poke the needle through the final loop, using the needle’s tip to release the thread circles. Then, pull the thread straight. Congratulations! You’ve mastered the art of hidden stitching.
