Position the needle from the front to the back through the loop. If you twist the loop slightly this will create a small knot to secure the start of the stitching.
Then you sew start sewing the blanket stitch. Start sewing from the back of the two layers of fabric to the front. Keep the thread taught to create the stitch. However you are welcome to change the distance from the edge of the fabric and the stitch length.
This will depend on the project you are working on, the thickness of the fabric and how secure you require the stitch to be. Why not test out the size of your stitch on a scrap of fabric. Continue sewing the blanket stitch along the length of the fabric, project. To finish the stitch, you will need to sew from the BACK of the two layers of fabric to the FRONT, coming out of the fabric at the front in the same position as the last stitch. This is the same technique we used to start the stitching.
Leaving a loop of thread, sew from the front to the back. These two stitches are well represented on 16th- and 17th-century whitework items samplers, ruffs, and cuffs , Elizabethan-era clothing, and the colorful traditional band samplers. The buttonhole stitch appeared on the Jane Bostocke sampler which is the earliest, signed sampler known to date and is presently housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. As I have related many times while teaching sampler classes, one of my fondest early embroidery memories is taking a class at a public school in 5th grade.
The home economics teacher taught all of the girls boys weren't allowed in sewing classes back then! Then she announced that for the rest of the class period, we would be experimenting with producing our own variations of these two stitches without consulting each other or the classroom's stitch reference books.
Stunned silence reigned for several minutes, then we got busy stitching with an occasional excited comment about our new stitch discoveries. Later, we used the newly learned buttonhole stitch to finish some handmade buttonholes and to create dainty belt loops for a dress project. A few of the better known and more widely used variations of the buttonhole and blanket stitches include the closed Figure 3 , open Figure 4 , knotted also known as knot or Antwerp edging, Figure 5 , crossed Figure 6 , buttonhole wheel Figure 7 , double great for couching, Figure 8 and detached Figure 9.
The detached-buttonhole stitch is worked entirely on the surface of the background fabric except at the beginning and ending of each stitch row. Now you know how to do blanket stitch when sewing one layer. Photo A: Poke the needle down as if you were starting another stitch.
Pull the thread all the way through, but do not pull it tight yet. Leave enough of a loop, and only enough, so that later with your new piece of thread you can catch this loop and then pull that stitch tight into place. So to determine how loose to leave this last stitch before the knot, just lay the loose loop of thread across as if you had properly finished the stitch.
Photo B: Now thread a needle onto the new piece of thread, and then tie the tail of the new piece of thread to the tail of the old piece of thread, as close to the back of the felt as possible, so that the loose stitch of thread stays the length you want it red thread represents new piece. Then trim the tails off the knot. Photo C: To complete the stitch that you have left loose, slide your needle underneath the loose stitch you left, and pull your stitch tight into place.
Photo D: This photo shows that your thread has been changed and you are on your way again. Photo A: To connect your last stitch to your first stitch, slide your needle sideways underneath your first stitch, and pull your thread tight. Photo B: Now poke your needle down at the top of the first stitch you made. Photo C: Pull this stitch down tight, and then knot your thread off on the underside of the felt, and your stitch is complete.
Start between the two layers and poke your needle down through the bottom layer. This will put your knot in between the two layers. Photo B: To get the stitch anchored, poke your needle down from the top layer so that the needle comes out the bottom at the same spot where you started, basically making a loop.
To do this, poke the needle under the stitch going sideways along the crack of the two layers. Before pulling this stitch tight, be sure that your needle is in fact through the loop of thread, as shown in photos D and E. Photo E: This photo shows several stitches, and how the loop should be underneath with the thread coming out over the top. Now continue each stitch like this and you are on your way.
Now you know how to do blanket stitch when sewing two layers together. Photo A: Poke the needle down as if you were starting another stitch, but only go through the top layer. Photo B: Cut your thread and knot it off with the knot tight against the felt so your loose loop of thread stays the length you want it.
