I was just going to ask about the ladder stitch when I noticed the link. Thanks for posting it. I'm going to go look at it and see if I want to do mine that way.
I always do mine by hand but I do like the idea of tryng some decorative machine stitching too. You ladies are always so smart and helpful.

I use the "latter stitch" in an unusual way with a single thread most of the time, but if I know there is going to be lots of wear and tear I use double, like on a childs quilt that is going to be used and washed lots.
