I am a gifted amateur when it comes to sewing. At least with a blanket stitch. Never touched a sewing machine in my life and do it all by hand.

My kids are naturally rough with toys and their clothes. Some are better designed than others. I hate throwing things out that I know I can repair and I will sew broken seams frequently just to get a little more time out of everything.

Problem is that when I am mending something like a toy, when I get to the end I can't work the needle inside anymore. I end up with a stiff line that does not look good.

What can I do when I am finishing a seam when I can't reach the other side? What stitch or stitches should I be using.
