Your room may appear just right, but aren’t you ignoring something essential? Are your pillows going along with your room décor? If not, then why not design decorator pillows that can match with your bedroom or living room. You can try a couple of complicated or easy designs according to your wish. The final step, however, is stitching up the open area by stitching it. The space is covered by the hand blind stitch, which just requires hand and you don’t have to fix sewing machines for the purpose. The correct stitches must not be seen on the pillow cover, which elaborates the name of this kind of stitching. Now you are spared from sewing machine repair as you won’t need those gadgets for the purpose.
First of all let’s see what the requirements 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 and iron. In order to provide finishing touches to your pillow, do the hand blind stitch keepin in view the following steps:
• You have to press beneath the corners of the fabric surrounding the space. The best time to do this is the moment you are about to keep the pillow covering over the pillow. The pressed areas will assist you in stitching.
• Then you have to get a thread of about 15 inches in length. Pass the thread from the needle’s eye in order to have a double thread with same lengths, next fasten the termini of the thread making double knots.
• Place your pillow in your lap with the space open towards you. Pass the needle from the fabric on one side and pull it from the other end of the opening. Make sure to bring out the needle from the point where you pressed the fabric. This way, you can hide the knot of thread and afterwards continue stitching the fabric at the correct end of the opening.
• Afterwards, do a little stitch with the needle on the other end of the fabric, just under the press region on the fabric. Stitch just across the opening such that the material joins and makes approximately 1/8 inch long stitch.
• Take your needle a single stitch back on the first end
of the fabric to the place where you pressed. In doing so, don’t forget to do the stitch through the opening again.
• Carry on with the stitching of the two sides of the fabric through the opening. It must be done in a back and forth movement through the opening until you make it shut.
• In the end, fasten a knot on the needle’s end of the thread such that it rests on the fabric. Pass the needle in the pillow to make an inch long stitch then bring the needle back again. Cut the thread slightly over the fabric. The last stitch conceals your knot invisibly into the pillow.
The moment you have a decorated pillow by your side, all you have to do is a hand blind stitch to provide it a few final touches.
