[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

Thankyou for this!! Got confused over this stitch with my project I'm doing, but it seems fairly simple. I always have the temptation to miss the loop part and tighten the stitch like a normal stitch.
Thankyou, you helped me immensely! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@RokoleeDIY]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)

[@MerlynCooper]

Thank you! I'm a 33 year old man in the UK, the only stitch I'd ever learned before was a tacking stitch that my mother showed me once.
Now I'm older and I want to put patches on hoodies and every friend I spoke to said "do a blanket stitch" but I'm autistic and none of the descriptions I read made sense!
This video was incredibly clear to listen to, well demonstrated and easy to understand!

[@RokoleeDIY]

Brilliant! Glad the instructions helped you :) Thanks for your comment

Also known as a “Penny” rug application...

[@jeanmoore1684]

A very good tutorial, however traditionally embroidery is not started with a knot, but a small double stitch on the back of the work.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thanks :) True. If embroidering on a thin fabric I'd say it would be best not to use knots. I just feel a bit more 'safe' using knots to be honest.

[@stephaniemiller8229]

Can I use this stitch to appliqué a Dresden Plate, done in cotton, onto a cotton square? How many embroidery threads do you use to do the stitch? Thank you for this tutorial. It’s just what I was looking for.😊

[@RokoleeDIY]

I don't see why not! I would probably use 3 threads, but it really depends. Test on a sample of your fabric first :)

[@AeriyaValkyrja]

I need an invisible stitch for sewing patches onto jeans which could I use?

[@RokoleeDIY]

There is a stitch called invisible stitch, but usually for patches you'd use whip stitch in a thread that matches what you're sewing so it blends in :)

[@moonglitter9855]

I noticed on some stitches you don’t slip the needle through the loop before tightening?

[@RokoleeDIY]

I always go through the loop - same on every stitch - but I think it doesn't look like I am sometimes because the thread happens to fall in the right place so the needle automatically comes out on top of/through it :)

[@PullCaR]

Do we need to go over the loop for every stitch?

[@RokoleeDIY]

Not sure what you mean exactly, but every stitch you do the same :)

[@camagnuson6108]

Anti-clockwise? You mean counter-clockwise?

[@RokoleeDIY]

Same thing :)
