Embroidery Edge Stitching


Lately I have been discovering how useful blanket stitching is.  However it also led me to wanting more than just blanket stitching as a decorative edge stitching.    Below is a pictorial depiction of a number of edge stitches.  Generally these are classified under Embroidery Stitches however in today's increasingly popular mix media world, these stitches are extremely useful for more than just embroidery.

Happy stitching!
