Description
Here's a little tutorial I whipped up to help others with the ladder (also known as hidden) stitch. It's used to close up and opening with out the seam showing. I don't claim to have invented this stitch, and I'm sure there are other tutorials out there, I just made this because some people have asked, and I don't mind helping!
Thanks for looking! I hope some of you find this useful! And please let me know if you have any questions.
Do not claim this tutorial as your own.

On a heavy faux fur, should you use ladder stitch to hand sew the whole plush? Or will the sewing machine be able to handle it?

I use my machine for all major sewing, including on faux fur. I only handstich small details or to close up holes.

I just tried this on my first plush and I'm astonished at how well it worked. It actually worked better and looked nicer than the whip stitch I used on the rest of the plush. So why can't we just use this stitch to sew the entire thing right side-out (assuming you do it all by hand, like I did, which will never, ever happen again)?

You can do it that way, but why in the world would you want to handsew an entire plushie? LOL!
I use this all around my donuts when I make those.

xD Thus the "my first plush" and the "which will never, ever happen again". Thankfully it was just a little one, a whale that fits in the palm of my hand. Well, we learn from our mistakes and I certainly learned from this one. God, it took me like 4 hours for a teensy little thing. Pretty sure with a machine I'd have been done in under 30 minutes! (And I wouldn't have to research everything to death because I actually do know my way around a sewing machine)

AHH thank you so much for this... I just started making plushes with no prior sewing experience at all, so I was just winging it on the closures... and needless to say they dont always look very nice. XD This will be so so helpful!!

The way I did it (which idk if it's right) is that I folded the fabric inwards like u have here, and u poke the needle through, but on each side i only poked it once, not twice (like i see here) idk if that's right?

Finally! Everytime I read in a tutorial "To close your plushie just use a ladder stitch", I wanted to bash my laptop because nobody told me how this stupid stitch looks like. Thanks to you, my lovely Kirk (a.k.a. my laptop XD) is safe now! You're my personal hero, thank you very much!
