SMALL BLANKET STITCH

Applications

Attaching Appliques

Use this stitch to sew around appliques, to secure them to the main fabric. Set the stitch length and stitch width to be proportionate to the size of the applique and look you want.

Quilt Binding

This decorative stitch can be used to embellish a quilt binding. Allow the left side of the stitch to sew in the "ditch" between the main quilt and the binding. The horizontal stitches will sew into the quilt binding, adding a decorative touch.

Decorative Stitching

Use this stitch to embellish your sewing projects with a single row, multiple rows, or even in combination with other decorative stitches. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, all-purpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using. It is also helpful to use a stabilizer to help support the stitches. Learn more about needles and stabilizer on the SINGER website.
