Revise: Fabrication and Assembly MethodsInvisible stitching describes the discreet result rather than the absence of stitches. Slip stitching can achieve this by hiding the thread within a fold and making tiny catches in the main fabric. These methods suit hems where a visible machine line would spoil the appearance, but hand stitching takes longer.
