Beginner Sewing Tip Tuesday! 🔰

When you need to sew through your top-facing fabric, you need a stitch-in-the-ditch! A stitch-in-the-ditch is an almost-invisible stitch you sew directly into the “ditch” of a seam. When done right, your stitch will appear to sink into the seam.

For the best results, be sure to match the color of your top thread to your fabric!
