Give Last Touches To Your Decorated Pillows By Hand Blind Stitch
Your room may appear just right, but aren’t you ignoring something important? Are your pillows going along with your room décor? If not, then why not design decorator covers that go well with your bedroom or living room. You can use some fancy or simple designs according to your will. The final part, however, is stitching up the gap by stitching it. The space is concealed by the hand blind stitch, which only requires hand and you don’t have to fix sewing machines for the purpose. The correct stitches must not be seen on the pillow seam, which explains the name of this kind of stitching. Now you are free from sewing machine repair as you won’t need those gadgets for the purpose.
First of all let’s have a look on what the essentials for hand blind stitch are. There is not much stuff to gather. All you need is a thread of the same color as the pillow, needle, scissors along with an iron. In order to provide final touches to your pillow, apply the hand blind stitch with the following steps:
• You have to press under the corners of the cloth surrounding the space. The best time to do this is the moment you are just going to place the pillow seam over the pillow. The pressed regions will help you in stitching.
• Then you have to cut a thread that is about 15 inches long. Pass the thread from the needle’s eye in order to get a double thread with same lengths, then tie the ends of the thread by double knots.
• Place your pillow on your knee with the space open towards you. Pass the needle from the clothe on one place and pull it from the other end of the gap. Make sure to bring out the needle from the point where you pressed the clothe. This way, you can hide the knot of thread and then go on stitching the clothe at the correct end of the opening.
• After that, make a tiny stitch with the needle on the other end of the cloth, just under the press region on the clothe. Stitch just across the opening such that the fabric unites and creayes almost 1/8 inch long stitch.
• Take your needle to one stitch back on the original end
of the fabric at the spot where you pressed. While doing so, don’t forget to make the stitch through the opening again.
• Carry on with the stitching of both sides of the clothe through the opening. It must be accomplished in a back and forth direction through the opening until you seal it shut.
• In the end, tie a knot on the needle’s termini of the thread such that it rests on the fabric. Pass the needle through the pillow to create an inch long stitch then bring the needle back again. Trim the thread slightly above the fabric. The final stitch buries your knot invisibly into the pillow.
The moment you have a ornamented pillow by your side, all you have to do is a hand blind stitch to provide it a few final touches.
