We called them.blind stitches. Wow I didn’t kno I have to try theseI remember learning these in middle school. I HAVE BEEN DOING IT WRONG FOR THE PAST TEN THOusAND YeARSThis type of stitch is actually called a Ladder Stitch and it is The Best Stitch You Will Ever Learn, especially with plush sewingLadder stitches make fixing annoying puff out mistakes easy, helping you achieve the right shape you were trying to get but didn’t get with the pattern you made.They make attaching things to other things super useful. My rule of thumb has been to go three-four rounds with a quadruple thick thread; first time around in one direction, knot off, then the opposite direction the next one/two rounds, knot off then the original direction again. The ladder stitch isn’t a bulky stitch and it hides itself really well. I use this for attaching legs, arms, wings, and other decorum. It’s also really useful for fabric eyes.A Ladder Stitch is what you want to use when you have a hole in your pillow, blanket, or clothes. It requires a minimum hem length, but does not work well with silky or fraying fabrics. It’s best with knits and other non-fray types. It’s difficult to do with very stiff or very thick fabrics, like faux leather or plush fleece. It is my favorite stitch for very good reasons -- source link
