BLIND-STITCH / LADDER-STITCH:
The VIDEO TUTORIAL will help you understand this step more completely.
1. Find the opening on your Hot Pad and insert the tip of the needle into the opening.
2. Pull the needle up so the knot is buried in the seam.
3. Insert needle into the top of the fold on one side, and pick up a little tiny stitch.
4. Exactly where your needle came out on one side, your will insert your needle into the fold on the other side. (If you do this stitch correctly, the stitch will be completely invisible).

BLIND STITCH DIAGRAM:
This diagram shows where the thread goes through the fabric. It is important for the needle to go parallel through the top of the fold.

TEST YOUR STITCH:
5. Get some scraps of your fabric. (Try to match the thickness of your fabric that you are working on, so the stitch will look similar to your final product).
6. Test your stitch on your collection of scraps, and make sure the embroidery stitch you chose is working correctly.
BEGIN STITCHING:
5. Place the edge of your fabric up to the ⅝” seam allowance at the corner.
6. Guide your fabric so that the edge stays lined up with the ⅝ “ seam allowance. (DO NOT PUSH OR PULL while stitching! DO NOT BACK STITCH!!!)
7. When you get to the corners, PIVOT if possible, because of the embroidery stitch, corners may not align perfectly. IT IS OK!
