10.6 Sew blanket stitch
The Blanketstitch is similar to the popular Parisian stitch and suits as edge finishing on woollen blankets,
scarves or thick materials.
> Preferably thread decorative threads into the looper and the needle.
> Place water-soluble stabilizer on top of the fabric along the fabric edge.
> Sew along the fabric edge.
> After sewing, pull the stabilizer away from the fabric, and in doing so, the needle thread is pulled to the
edge of the fabric.
– This makes the seam look like the typical hand-stitched blanket stitch.
> Wash out the water-soluble stabilizer.
