blindstitch
Concealed seam technique
A blindstitch is a sewing technique where stitches are hidden from view on the finished garment, typically used for hems.
The needle catches only a few threads of the outer fabric, making the stitching nearly invisible from the right side: She used a blindstitch to hem the curtains.
As a verb, to blindstitch is to sew using this method.
Many sewing machines have a blindstitch setting.
