Blanket Stitch

Blanket stitch is used for working the edges of table-covers, mantel valances, blankets, etc., or for edging any other material, including clothing. The blanket stitch is similar to the method used for the buttonhole stitch but there is more space between the stitches and a definite requirement for even regularity. This stitch is also quite easy and would be a good project to do with kids!

Running Stitch

From now on, I will introduce different sewing stitch types for readers' easy reference.


Running stitch is worked from right to left. Several stitches can be picked up on the needle at once before pulling the needle through. (See figure 1 as well as the York seam in figure 11.)
