On the black cat what is that embroidery stitch you use? Is that what they call a chain stitch?
Finally, last question I promise. What technique do you use for your applique? Fusible, needle turn, or prepared (where you baste down your seam allowance before appliqueing to background) or none of the above ?
Thanks!
I have a different way of sewing the blanket stitch. I tie a knot at the top of each stitch to keep them from sagging or leaning over. The black one is embroidered with a back stitch. It looks a bit like a chain stitch because I pierce the thread when I go back instead of coming up next to it. I don't know why but I've always done it that way.... and finally, I do needleturn applique. I find it the easiest, less "have to fuss with it" method. :-)
