1
Know that the stitch can be slipped both straight and purl. You can slip the stitch either knit or purl.(Unless otherwise indicated, it means straight.)
- To slip a knit stitch, slide the right needle through the next stitch from left to right, as if you were about to knit.Don't pass the thread over the needle though;simply move the stitch from the left needle to the right.This method is more visible.
- To slip a stitch backwards, slide the right needle through the next stitch from right to left, as if you were purling.Simply move the stitch from the left needle to the right.This method is practically invisible.
2
Place the thread in front or keep it behind. Another variant of slipping the stitches while working with the needles is if the unworked yarn remains on the back (where you usually work from) or if it is on the front of the work.If you need to make a slipped stitch with the thread in front, move the thread as it is between the needles and then in front of the work.After slipping the stitch, return it to its original position.Unless otherwise indicated, consider the stitch slipped with the thread on the back.

1
Fasten the hem. Slip stitches are usually used to sew hems so that the stitch line on the outside (or inside) of the garment is not visible.Fasten the hem first to ensure you sew straight.Your hem should have a "crease" on the inside;it looks like the bottom of a piece of fabric, folded up 2 or 3 cm, then folded again for another 2 cm (or whatever size you're using).
2
Tie a knot in the end of the thread.
3
Slide the needle into the fold, and pull it out of the top fold.
4
Using the end of the needle, take a few threads of the fabric above the fold. Do not pass the needle completely through the fabric but only superficially and then bring it back, as you would when sewing normally.Instead bring the tip of the needle under three or four threads of the fabric.By passing the thread in this way, you avoid lumps and pulling on the outside of the garment.
5
Put the needle back into the fold. Near the point where you popped the needle out of the fold, bring it back in, keeping the needle parallel to the fold.You will move lengthwise along the seam.
6
Bring the needle back to the outside of the fold. Again, take a few threads of the fabric right above where the needle came out.
7
Repeat steps 2 through 4 as many times as necessary.
8
Knot. When you have finished sewing the hem, tie a knot, so that the knot is on the inside of the fold.
