Blanket Stitch Attributes:
1. Edge Reinforcement: The blanket stitch serves to neaten fabric edges and prevent unraveling.
2. Consistent Spacing: Stitches are placed at equal intervals, creating a smooth, unbroken line along the material's boundary.
3. Adaptable: Applicable for both practical and ornamental elements in diverse embroidery projects.
Blanket Stitch Procedure:
1. Initial Insertion: Start by piercing the fabric at its edge and drawing the thread through.
2. Looped Stitch: Reinsert the needle at the starting point, ensuring the thread is looped over the edge.
3. Securing the Loop: Draw the needle through the fabric, forming a loop that rests beside the edge.
4. Uniform Repetition: Continue the sequence along the edge, maintaining consistent stitch dimensions.
