I often use the buttonhole stitch (with the knot at the top) for fusible applique as it stays sitting on the edge of the shape much better than the blanket stitch!

...I am learning so many new stitches thanks to you!<br />I love the blanket stitch and totally agree with you. There is definitely confusion over the two stitches. Your post explaining the difference is a very interesting read. When I googled "difference between buttonhole stitch and blanket stitch, your blog post came up in the top 3 results!<br />You may be "only self-taught" but you are WELL-taught and I love your passion for excellence in your stitching.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786068334983762178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4190246447445208491.post-62573948568035045792016-02-16T22:31:51.365+00:002016-02-16T22:31:51.365+00:00Your work is lovely!
