How to sew an invisible hem

This type of stitch is called a catch stitch and is great for when you need to hem heavier/thicker fabrics. Provided you select a thread that matches the colour of your garment, the stitch is virtually invisible from the outside.

As someone who went to school for fashion and even use to teach sewing. I need a refresher every now and then. THIS video is absolutely PERFECT! It’s clear, simple and to the point. I love and so grateful!

I'm currently wasting a fortune on fashion school to learn so much more quickly from YouTube... oh how funny life is. Thank you

I was looking for a quick tutorial on how to do this stitch as it had been several years since I'd utilized it. I gotta say: I love this video!! Short, precise, and to the point. No unnecessary backstory. Thank you for sharing!!!

THANK YOU! Your tutorial was perfect for hemming my daughter's prom dress that had a 1" wide structured interfacing in the hem. I was able to fold and press it over as you showed and the invisible hem looks so good! You are a lifesaver because I could not find any instructions on hemming that kind of gown. Great easy-to-follow instructions too! Have a great day!

This is the best video for hem !

Before writing this comment, I came across a YouTube video in Hindi language; that video was not worth watching even one single time. And, one of the viewer of that video had commented, one year ago, to make the hem/turpai video again, as it was not clearly visible. The maker of that Hindi video did not even bother to answer to the comment. I read that comment, just few minutes before ! But, before watching that video in Hindi, I had watched this video! So, instantly, I shared the link of this video on hem with the viewer of that Hindi video!

Please, keep making videos like this one on sewing or on anything you think people should know of!

All the best!

I have been sewing for more than 50 years, I started in Jr. High School. I would never hem any garment with the catch stitch in this
video! Back in the day we were taught that a properly hemmed garment that looked like it was professionally done was made with stitches that were hidden. I always referred to the stitch that I used as a blind stitch but I just did a bit of googling and I found that the stitch I am referring to is a slip stitch. Google says that a catch stitch is used for tacking or hemming lined garments. It is a zig zag stitch that helps prevent your fabric from fraying along the edges. The stitch in this video would work to hem garments but if you are going to take the time to hand stitch why not make both sides of the garment look neat and professional?

So helpful! I took a gorgeous pair of trousers to a tailors to be hemmed and he has absolutely butchered them! I can't believe how badly he's done them. I am going to get him to remove the stitching he's done and do them myself with this video
