Ladder Stitch

Up till now, all my jackets and coats have been in handwoven coarse wool/cotton fabric.

My current project is a blazer for my wife made from a light commercial polyester/cotton fabric and I can not get away with sloppy stitching anymore.

Joining the collar at the lapel calls for a "ladder stitch" but I have no information on how to do this so I have gotten by with just a slip stitch which is invisible on my other coats but pretty ugly on this.

If I were doing woodwork, it would call for filler and light sanding.

Is there any bandied out there that would cover this over?

More importantly, how does one do a ladder stitch? All Goggling brings up is for knitting and other unrelated problems.

Thanks. Helped a lot. Futzed around on a practice piece and wanted to kick myself for not acting earlier. It looks wonderful but I am reluctant to rip out what I did and the "client" says it looks fine.

There is always next time.

Thanks,
