PIN STITCH The Pin stitch is a traditional stitch pattern used for picot-like edges, for heirloom sewing and for applique work. BLANKET STITCH The Blanket stitch is traditionally a hand sewn 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. Helpful Hint: The Mirror patterns 14 and 31 make placement and manipulation of the fabric easier. 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. 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. Helpful Hint: A slight + adjustment of the tension will increase the size of the hole when using a Wing Needle. Lightweight woven fabrics will provide best results. 52
