Step 1
You will need...
Thread
1 Needle
Some material
A smile on your face :)
(this coulld probably be done without the smile, but lets be optimistic)
Step 2
Cut yourself some thread, thread your needle and tie a little knot at one end of the thread
Step 3
sew through one side of the fabric..

<-- like that
Step 4
Do that again
Step 5
Now, before you pull tight, pull the needle through the loop.
you might want to look at the picture cos this is quite hard to explain
Step 6
Pull tight. The first one always looks a bit odd, but the rest will be ok i promise
Step 7
Sew through the fabric again
Step 8
now pull the needle through the loop again
Step 9
Pull tight
Step 10
Voila! now the trick to even stitching is to make sure you have even depth and width between your stitches...

I hope this helps anyone looking at how to blanket stitch!! xx

I'd just like to add, blanket stitch uses up more thread then normal, you can use a longer length but it may become tangled. just something to bear in mind if you are keen on presentation
