slipstitch
Invisible seam joiner
A slipstitch is a nearly invisible stitch used in sewing and knitting.
In hand sewing, it joins folded edges or attaches linings by catching only a few threads of fabric, keeping stitches hidden: She closed the pillow with a slipstitch.
In knitting, slipping a stitch means passing it from one needle to another without working it, used in decreases and decorative patterns.
