QuestionHow can I keep the stitches straight and evenly spaced?
Community AnswerSet your sewing machine to make a long stitch and machine-baste along the edge where you are making the stitches. Use the stitches as a guide to where to place your blanket stitches. Remove the basting when you are done. -
QuestionHow do I tie the end easily? I always fail it!
PhoebeAmelia24Community AnswerJust make a loop, then pull the needle through. Then take the needle and pull it through the fabric to hide the end, then cut it off. Of course, you could always do a French knot and cut the end. -
QuestionHow can I hand sew a blanket stitch evenly, ensuring each stitch is consistently spaced and its base forms a straight line?
Lucy VeeTop AnswererYou can achieve even blanket stitches by first marking a straight guide line for the stitch bases and equally spaced intervals along it with a removable fabric marker or chalk. To ensure consistent stitch length, determine your desired loop height and stitch length, adding a second guide line if needed. When stitching, insert your needle from back to front at a base mark, bring it out at the next spacing mark, loop the thread under the needle tip, and pull to form the stitch, maintaining even tension. Regularly check your alignment and practice on scrap fabric to improve your technique.
