How to do ladder stitch (Right handed)

[@barnabyvonrudal1]

So satisfying when the thread is pulled and it all comes together

[@RepairWhatYouWear]

It's the best bit!

[@ct3950]

This is beautifully explained. I actually can do this stitch already but knowing all the little nuances from start to end has taught me many new aspects of making this better.

[@RepairWhatYouWear]

Sorry for the late reply. This is good to know and it is the extra tips that move one forward. We have a heap of videos on the website and KZbin Channel if you want to take a look. And under educational resources there are videos on fabrics and fibres, if you are interested!

[@leticiathomas2415]

Thank you, your explanation is quite clear! 😊

[@Joel_ortiz2001]

You inspire me to do everything by hand. It’s more special

[@RepairWhatYouWear]

Thanks! Often small mends are much faster and neater by hand and it is special, as you say.

[@celiahaddon4087]

This is also my preferred stitch for seaming hand knitted garments.

I used this as a refresher, i do not use this often. Seems like complete instruction. On to fixing granddaughter’s pillow dolly.

[@trinabenyi8791]

Thank you so much! I never even knew about this stitch. It will be a game changer for me.

[@RepairWhatYouWear]

Thats great Trina, so glad to hear.

[@reneejackson7148]

Great job , I’ve been looking for some one to do the ladder stitch because I was having a little problem. But since I have seen the way you stitch the ladder stitch I believe I can do it better, thanks so much.

[@reneejackson7148]

Because I want to make my children a memory bear . Thanks again many blessings to you and your family.

[@RepairWhatYouWear]

Greatest tutorial ❤

[@elma4996]

easy to follow thanks I’ve got too many rips in my jeans going to try this stich now

[@RepairWhatYouWear]

Thats great. If splits are in areas under pressure, you might also want to reinforce the area with a patch behind. See our jeans mending tutorial or quick fix visible mending for ideas.

Glad it helped!

[@jenniferkatz731]

I just tried this on my polyester jacket lining and I snapped the needle trying to pull one of the stitches through 😭 It was a pretty sturdy needle, too. Is it possible I just need to take it to a tailor?

[@RepairWhatYouWear]

It should be possible to do this on almost any fabrics. Can you kindly send a photo to [e-mail] so we can take a look? When fabric is thick it is often a very sharp needle that is required but we can see what solutions there are.

Asegurese de que el hilo estate siempre detrás de la aguja. Intente esto y vea que sucede. Gracias por el mensaje.
