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.
