edges and for applique work.
BLANKET STITCH
The Blanket stitch is traditionally a hand embroidery
stitch used to put bindings on blankets. This multi-
purpose stitch can also be used for attaching fringe,
attaching edgings, couching, applique and drawn thread
hemstitching
ENTREDEUX STITCH
Useful for decorative stitching on borders and for use in heirloom
sewing. The Entredeux stitch is most often sewn with a Wing
Needle (Singer Style 2040) to create holes in the stitch pattern.
HONEYCOMB STITCH
The Honeycomb stitch is ideal for smocking and useful
for overcasting and attaching elastic and stretch lace.
1. Make several rows of gathers across the fabric that you wish
to smock.
2. With a narrow strip of fabric directly under the line of gathering,
stitch over the gathers. The design will be a series of small
diamonds.
Helpful Hint: The Mirror patterns 14 and 31 make
placement and manipulation of the fabric easier.
Helpful Hint: A slight + adjustment of the tension will
increase the size of the hole when using a Wing Needle.
