Which stitch is a tiny stitch in the fabric body, with the next stitch taken in the underside of the hem to the left of the first stitch?

• A. Running Stitch
• B. Tacking
• C. Blindstitch
• D. Edgestitching

Answer: (C)

This item tests a hemming stitch designed to stay hidden from view. A blindstitch creates an almost invisible finish by making a tiny stitch into the fabric body, then placing the next stitch into the underside of the hem to the left of the first stitch. This alternating placement pulls the hem up securely while keeping the visible stitches on the right side minimal and concealed by the fold. It’s the technique you’d use when you want a clean, professional-looking hem without a visible stitching line. The other stitches would leave visible lines or are meant for temporary holds, so they don’t fit the purpose of an inconspicuous hem.
