Decorative, versatile and functional this overcast or edge stitch is often one of the first beginning embroidery stitches taught to children. Adding beads to each stitch further allows the stitch to add emphasis as an outline to the evenly spaced, even length stitches.

I like to use the blanket stitch to outline old Christmas cards - to repurpose for a new recipient. smile

Sometimes I use a paper backing and stuff with a bit of polyester fiberfill.

I never thought of that. Great tip. I always have trouble keeping my blanket stitches of equal distance and equal length, no matter what method I may try. I love the charming look the blanket stitch produces, just wish I was better at it. Any suggestions?
