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
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 ☺️🫶🏻🧶🪡🧵
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. 🌼
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.
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!
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!
This was amazing I never learned how to sew and you made this easy and so easy to follow (especially with the colors and thick thread) thank you for posting 😊
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.
11th November 2024. This video is perfect! I've bought a nursery garland kit (sealife creatures) and hope to be able to make this (out of felt) for the arrival of my first grandchild 😊
I have searched and searched AND searched for a tutorial on the blanket stitch and watched countless videos and still not able to get it. Yours did the trick! It was perfect! I just subscribed and look forward to your other videos. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video. I see such pretty fabric in the store and I want to make a cute blanket for myself but had no idea how to sew the edges.
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! 😊✌🏻
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 :>
Relearning my sewing and check on how to do the backstitch..I "stumbled" on your tutorial and I like it. You do your tutorial straight out and clear. Thank you so much. And... I liked and Subscribed. Will keep checking out for more videos.
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!
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.
omg thank you!! as a crafty girl im trying to make a plushie with felt but i couldnt for the life of me find a proper tutorial but this tutorial was really slow and easy !! so thank you ❤
Thank you! I had bought flannel fabric instead of fleece today. I don’t have a sewing machine. I was trying to find a way to make a baby blanket with my flannel fabric.
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.
Don’t mind me just learning the blanket stitch for my fursuit 🚶🏻♀️ edit: made this comment when i was 13 and didnt end up making that fursuit, now at 16 im almost done with my first fursuit and am set to go to HDCC :) if you see this comment feel free to reply, you can do anything you set your mind to ❤
I am making sweater slippers, I looked and it said, "Blanket Stitch Recommended." I looked up it, and you were one of the most popular, Thank you very much. Very Helpful. Can't wait to see more.
Thank you so much! This was just what I needed to learn and because of your clear, easy to understand instruction, and easy to follow video, I was able to pick it up right away!
Maggy, I got the idea for a Coleman camp oven cover from the beginning of this TH-cam 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
Thank you for a quick and clear video! I'm doing a blanket stitch, rather than a backstitch, on a pocket to help prevent fraying and give the pocket strength.
My kid was asked to make a Blanket Stitch and you have wonderfully demonstrated it. Absolutely wonderful even I want to try it now... Thank you very much
Hi Maggy, I've looked at a couple of your TH-cam 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....};-) .
This was so so easy to follow. I'm doing some Christmas decorations and in the instructions it said to blanket stitch and I had visions of it being so confusing with the picture that was provided.
I have just learnt how to blanket stitch for my class work and i need a bit more practice because mine was not the best but your video was really helpful. Well better than my mum's explanation!
I got a plushie kit for Christmas, one of those that have the pieces pre-cut. It calls for this stitch and I’ve had no reason to use it before now and the instructions were absolutely awful. Thank you so much for being so clear and helpful!! ❤️❤️
Thank you much your a lifesaver.I have bought a kit to make a felt wreath ,brilliant x
Woohoo that makes me so happy!
Howww its the opposite
This is brilliant, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

How do you finish the stitch?
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.

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. ☺
I haven't done this stitch in 41 yrs, had to refresh. Ty

This is a fantastic tutorial. I am using it with my middle school crafting club.
Oh fantastic - so happy!!!
Thank you for this visual, very easy to see and , starting at the beginning is very HELPFUL.
Thank you so much this was so clear and straight to the point! 😁
Briliant clear info. No unnecessary waffle. Good colour combo to see the stitch.
So helpful! It turns out so much better than a running stitch on my plushies, thank you
😍😍😍
This is a fab video. I have a sewing club with KS2 and this video was so helpful. Thank you very much. No jargon or waffling on. Thanks :)
My pleasure! I try and make the "crafts basics" series, straight to the point. A bit more waffling in my other videos 😚
We are learning how to sew at school and we use this video.👍
So happy to hear that!

Thanks for the lesson. I applied this to a leather pouch project. This video has over 2M views and only 25K likes, please be nice and like RedTed Art!
I somehow always forget how to start a blanket stitch even though I have professional sewing training
I know! It is confusing!
me too! here i am, for the billionth time, having to search for it after being a professional for years.
Thank you! This really helped me to grasp the stitch in a really simple and straightforward way!
Thanks so much! You made it very easy for us. Great video!
My pleasure!
Thank you soooo much! This helped me with my Design Tech homework soooo much I’m sure my teacher will be proud!
Ok
thank you for the tutorial because i need to finish my 7 hand stitches on my school
awesome 😍
thank you I just could not figure out the blanket stitch. you are a wonderful teacher. Blessings, Mary
What a great tutorial - so helpful, thank you
+Joy Jackson :-)
Thank you for keeping this short, sweet, and to the point! Great tutorial!
This video has been very helpful to me. Thanks
so pleased!
it was so bad
You're a lifesaver! I didn't know how to make a smiling face for a plushie but thanks to this tutorial, I was able to make it.
Love this, i need to see how to finish this off though!
I will need to add a new video!
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.
Ya it was really nice but can you please make a video of how to do blanket stitch on the middle of the cloth
Oh good suggestion, will add it to my to do list!
Thank you for a quick and clear video! I'm doing a blanket stitch, rather than a backstitch, on a pocket to help prevent fraying and give the pocket strength.
THANK YOU SO MUCH my teacher asked us to do a blanket stitch and we were all like “what’s that?” So thank you sooooo soo much Xx 💓

The scissors are from Over The Garden Wall cartoon
You’re blind if you didn’t see it drom the beginning
@@dorsa8250- My mother and grandmother used scissors of that pattern. It's a common one.

Thank you so much we were making a homemade dog when we didn’t know what a blanket stitch was😅😅
