blind hem: use matching color thread or invisible one?

Apr 20, 2009 2 Replies

Can invisible threads be used to sew blind hem? This way I only need one "color".



No, it's horrible thread and itchy. And nasty to sew with... Use a matching thread close to the composition of the fabric (Silk for silk, cotton for cotton for example).
