Slip stitch / ladder stitch

A slip stitch (also called ladder stitch) is used to join two fabrics when you don’t want the stitches to show. Following Fig.4, secure the thread onto a bulkier part of the project – a seam allowance or the fold of a hem. Now pass your needle through a tiny amount of the main fabric and then travel diagonally into the back of the other fabric piece. Come down directly into the main fabric again, pick up a small amount, and travel diagonally across to the second fabric again. Repeat along the edge.
