In this video tutorial I show you how to make a blanket stitch.
The blanket stitch also called buttonhole stitch, began as a way to finish the edges of blankets and other things like tea towels and pillowcases. Now it’s used to finish an edge, attach an appliqué or as a decorative stitch all on its own. There are a lot of ways to use this stitch as a decorative stitch – from flowers and leaves to filling and outlining.
