You shut up

[@ASquareGranny]

I know it’s been SEVEN YEARS, but I reference this video as a “refresher”, as well as recommend it to others, quite often! Today is another one of those days! It is 09 Feb 2024! I am a crocheter mostly, but this stitch is used from time to time, but not often enough - FOR ME, personally, to feel completely confident. At any rate, I appreciate you STILL and thought I’d pop into the comments and say so, on the off chance y’all will see this! Thank you so very much - again! 😊 cheers! Lisa in Ohio ☺️🫶🏻🧶🪡🧵

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! As a Father who doesn't have a supportive mother and whose grandma died before she could teach... I've always wanted to learn. It's such a good skill to know and use.

I know this was 2 years ago, but I just wanted to leave a supportive comment (since the others aren't, really). It is so wonderful to hear of a father who wants to sew and do what he can for his family. I really hope you were able to keep this up! What you and your family can get out of sewing is so much better than anything store bought, or can enhance what was store bought (like new clothes for their dolls, or keeping existing clothing in good condition)! Keep up the good work

[@yjbp9939]

Thanks!

[@triedntrueiam]

I have looked at five books trying to figure out this stitch to no avail. I watched this twice and have already completed sewing around my pocket as desired. I am so happy. Thank you so much for this clear tutorial. I’m ready to do the edge of my skirt now. 🌼

DogChomp do we need to tighten and pull the string before we loop or do we just losely do it? Thanks!

[@buns4814]

Thank you for the tutorial! I'm a year 11 student and I'm doing a cushion as a project, and this helped alot. Subscribed!

[@redtedart]

My pleasure!! And so pleased this helped!!! Thank you so much for subbing!!!!!

[@sofivuk2119]

Me too

[@MAHARANITOO]

Really nicely explained. My daughter was given a cushion kit to make and I had to show her the blanket stitch. She and I were able to make sense of what looks like a complicated method. Big thanks and thumbs up from us both.

[@redtedart]

Awwww So pleased!

[@elizabethm.8318]

I used an adjusted version of the stitch you taught in this video to mend my coworkers pants, and they can't even see where I mended it at! Kudos!

[@deathsheadmothranch7188]

As a hobby horse maker, this is an extremely important stitch for me to learn. Thanks for making it so simple!

[@lisalassiter6397]

Thanks for the easy instructions and video. Love how you started the video with the first stitch and explain as you go. I have stared at countless tutorials and it hasn't clicked. I finally feel confident enough to finish an applique project I started years ago!

[@rebbeccahoneycutt7941]

Trying to prevent fray on the inseam of a set of pants that split at the crotch. This video is 8 yrs old and was still the 1st recommendation when searched for refresh!!! Thank you!

[@monika-we8tx]

i keep coming back to this video time to time since i haven't fully mastered it but you always explain it SO well!!!! i know it's been many years since you made this but i just want to thank you so so so so much. have a good life.

[@cindy7702]

Thank you.. I used to do this all the time and then didn't for years.. Great refresher 😃

[@nonstopbegonia6193]

Thanks for making this video! I’m using it to make valentines for my coworkers this year. I hope luck follows you through life

[@Strait_fan]

Quick tip… Use a piece of masking tape along the bottom to keep your stitch length even, using the edge of the tape for a guide.

[@pattyterry5843]

Thank you, good tip!

[@LunarLilz]

It's 1am rn and u saved me from getting in trouble in home ec bc I needed to blanket stitch a LOT

[@triciawatts3204]

[@retrospectors6595]

I come back to this video all the time and always specifically look for your tutorial. It’s succinct, friendly, and so informative! You’re wonderful, thank you for your help! 😊✌🏻

[@beccaschimmel2907]

I had been struggling to learn this stitch and you made it so easy! Thank you!

[@MnChipy]

My fist step: take 30 minutes trying yo get the thread to go through needle 🪡 but thank you SUCH! i was trying to make a blanket thanky yoyt such a lifesaver!

[@galewhiteman2047]

Thank you for the up-close tutorial! I’ve been trying to remember how to do it. I want to use it on the front facing and collar section of a whimsical cow fabric jacket I’m making. The facings are already sewn together, just want the decorative stitching for a little more whimsy.

[@iampotato9826]

Thanks I had to do this for school you are a life saver

[@illinibaby]

Thank you so much! The blanket stitch was always so pretty but a mystery to me, and you made it sooo easy!

[@SashaMoldonado]

You make it so easy to understandI really like your videosThank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kcash0809]

I know this is 4 years old but thank you. I'm trying to hand sew my first blanket and that is the stitch I'm using on the edges. ☺

[@shanelkhan9257]

Wow!! I have ACTUALLY learnt how to sew just by watching you. Not bad for a 55yr lass 🙃🤗🤗

[@kathrynirvine3190]

Thank you! After looking everywhere, I was tying knots! Your instructions are great! I can do this!!! Thank you

[@EzonianGirl]

Thank you for keeping this short, sweet, and to the point! Great tutorial!

[@biancamarhwe2448]

they taught us in class but i didn't really understand and when i watched this vid couldn't believe how EASY it was - awesome vid :D

[@redtedart]

thank you

[@Trekker57]

Maggy, I got the idea for a Coleman camp oven cover from the beginning of this KZbin video. This will show you what I was try to describe to you: "Lake Mead Rec Area Camping, Hiking, Coleman Oven Baking! Full Time Van Life!" The only difference in my version would be the welding blanket type (3/8" thickness "felt" type welding blanket like I explained to you previously) and hand sewing the back seams. Thank you for your time, Paul

[@tiffanifranklin7754]

How do you finish the stitch?

[@asifmalek2120]

I was wondering that too

[@kymshimmin9520]

Lots of ways to do it. Depends on the circumstances. I use it in moccasin making to put my tops on and I just back stitch it. You can also do the thing where you make I a stitch and then go back through in the opposite direction. I'm not a fan of knots so I usually do several loop backs or something that will anchor it without a knot

[@kimnolen7644]

This explanation is so much easier to understand than others I have seen.

[@talktomedog]

i always come back to this! I love the Adelaide scissors ;)

[@sofivuk2119]

You...you always come back. OH MY GOD PURPLE GUY!!!

Thank you for your clear tutorial. I am having difficulty in remembering tasks which I used to find so easy and was getting very frustrated with my blanket stitching efforts. I think I am back on track now thanks to you.

We are learning how to sew at school and we use this video.👍

[@redtedart]

So happy to hear that!

[@Matt-hn4hn]

I have an awful teacher who doesn't help whatsoever and I couldn't do blanket stitch because of it and now this has helped me

[@redtedart]

Glad I managed to help! Yay! Good on you for going online and finding a tutorial that helped you!

[@FodienArt]

Thank you this was so useful. I am making little felt mice for my family's cats and the blanket stitch works great for them.

[@melaniebibb1658]

Today I learned how to blanket stitch in my stitch book but not on a page-edge yet so hopefully by the end of today I'll have the edging done. Blanket stitch is pretty easy once you got the technique so I can't wait to do this for my stitch book.

[@sadier.levinem.ed.3209]

This is a fantastic tutorial. I am using it with my middle school crafting club.

[@redtedart]

Oh fantastic - so happy!!!

[@SherryS-Claybrooke-Treefarm]

Thank you for this visual, very easy to see and , starting at the beginning is very HELPFUL.

[@littlestars4683]

So helpful! It turns out so much better than a running stitch on my plushies, thank you

[@redtedart]

😍😍😍

[@LaughingWolf222]

Perfect! Just helped me fix an unravelled spot on my sweater 💜

[@FtM_lmao]

Thank you very much for making this video! You didn't make a long intro, just straight to the tutorial and the tutorial itself is very explaining and clear! Thank you :>

[@lgarcya]

I like that too. I usually skip most you tubes long drawn out intros. My preference get to the stuff.

[@JulieChipoCreations]

Thank you! This really helped me to grasp the stitch in a really simple and straightforward way!

[@Moonbeam825]

Thank you so much! This is such a lovely stitch! I'm so glad I found this because I needed a simple but strong stitch.

[@treyshields7848]

That is the best and clearest instructions I have ever seen!!! Great job!

[@SilverDawnArrow]

I somehow always forget how to start a blanket stitch even though I have professional sewing training

[@redtedart]

I know! It is confusing!

[@zevrxn]

me too! here i am, for the billionth time, having to search for it after being a professional for years.

[@Trekker57]

Hi Maggy, I've looked at a couple of your KZbin videos on hand stitching, and I have to say that I'm really impressed with your expertise on sewing and also your ability to transfer that knowledge to us so easily! I'am a 69 year old male that has a sewing project to perform. I need your expert advice. Mind you, what I know about sewing you could fit in a thimble(get it?...thimble...LOL!). Anyway I would really appreciate your advice. I'am going to make a thermal cover for my Coleman camp oven to increase its thermal efficiency. The oven is basically a metal box that you would sit on top of a camp stove over one of the burners. The burner would heat up the inside of the box so that it performs like an oven. So here is what I plan to do: I have a welder's blanket that I would cut to shape to cover the top and sides with an overlapping flap for the back side. It would then be just a matter to sew the two back left and right corners together to the sides to make the thermal cover(I even bought Kevlar thread-heat proof). The welder's blanket is like a thick soft felt(3/8" thick). I plan to butt the back flap up against the side material and sew it together thereby completing a cover for the top, sides and back of the oven. The front of the oven will remain exposed. My question is: What type of hand stitch would you recommend? I was thinking the "blanket stitch" would probably work if I pushed the needle through the material at the very corners of the box. I'am open to any suggestions that you might have even if it means using another type of stitch. Thank you in advance for helping an old man with sewing....};-) .

[@redtedart]

Oooh trying to imagine the project in my head.. but yes, I think a blanket stitch sounds correct!! Nice and strong and looks neat too!

[@angelochoa5782]

This helped me sooo much

[@redtedart]

So pleased!
