The blanket stitch is a wonderful hand sewing technique to learn, as it can be used to great effect as decorative edging on various projects including blankets, dishcloths and fabric ornaments.
The usual materials to use blanket stitch on are non-fraying fabrics like felt, fleece and wool. The stitch is best at joining and decorating raw edges.
In this lesson, I will show you how to join 2 felt edges together, including how to stitch neatly around a corner. The demo begins at 3:20 in the video.
Thanks for watching!

hello, walked into a cloth store first time today for a project and saw some cute cotton cloths, got a wild idea to see a blanket for a very lovely 2year old baby girl, who came with her family to my island after fleeing Venezuela. Wanted to give her something beautiful to anchor joy into her inner child. This stitch is something I fondly remember from my own childhood blanket & wanted to make it. So Wonderful to find your video💜✨🙏🏼 can't wait to make the blanky for Nina😊

I ended up marking two spaces on my thumb with a marker to make my stitches evenly apart. So easy and so much faster than using tape.

This is the best tutorial on how to start a blanket stitch. Could you please do one that shows how to end the stitch I have had the hardest time and there's only one video that shows it, and not very well. If you could show how to end the stitch that would be wonderful - thank you!

@RokoleeDIY 2 года назад

Aw thank you :) Sorry I didn't show connecting the start and end of blanket stitch...I'm probably not going to make another video soon but I have a video on how to blanket stitch an applique and that might help you out.

@MordredPendragon7997 5 лет назад

Interesting, but how would you do it if there's only one layer of fabric?

@RokoleeDIY 5 лет назад

It would be the same technique in that case, the only difference being that where you have secured the thread at the beginning and end of the sewing will be visible on one side of the fabric. If you want to hem the single layer of fabric and then add blanket stitch over the hem, I have an example of that in my updated video : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9fMsHU1qfMI.html Hope that helps :)

@TheOnyxLegion 4 года назад

is this stitch good as a weight bearing stitch?

@RokoleeDIY 4 года назад

I would say it's not the best for weight-bearing, because although it can be quite strong if the stitches are small, weight that pulls the seam apart can create little gaps between the stitches along the seam - the blanket stitch doesn't completely seal up the seam unlike something like backstitch for example.

@TheOnyxLegion 4 года назад

@@RokoleeDIY awesome. Besides the backstitch what other styles of stitch would be good for say a dog leash that might have a big dog on it

@RokoleeDIY 4 года назад

@@TheOnyxLegion Well leather leashes would use saddle stitch, but for fabric leashes I would just recommend the backstitch to be honest - using small stitches and multiple lines of stitches to make absolutely sure it holds :)

How well would this work for faux fur? The luxury shag kind of fake fur, to be precise.

@RokoleeDIY 4 года назад

Hmm to be honest I don't think it would be the best choice because I imagine it would trap the fur under the stitches and make it look messy. Sorry!

@U.R.coolkid 4 года назад

@@RokoleeDIY i heard that if fur got trapped under stitches then use a needle or something to pull it out I think you could pin the two fabrics together while making sure there isn't any fur to get in the way of stitching, so i may try both Btw the tutorial was very helpful, but I'm sure you heard that already.

@RokoleeDIY 4 года назад

@@U.R.coolkid Thanks :) Yes a pin can be used to release the fur...let me know how it goes!

This video is so helpful! Do you think blanket stitching would be appropriate to use on muslin? Or do you think it might fray?

@RokoleeDIY 5 лет назад

Thanks! I would recommend hemming the muslin because, as you say, it would be likely to fray. I have a different video showing how to hem using blanket stitch: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9fMsHU1qfMI.html so you would fold over the edge of the fabric once or twice (then press with an iron) then add the blanket stitch over the hem.
