PIN STITCH

The Pin stitch is a traditional stitch pattern used for picot-like

edges, for heirloom sewing and for applique work.

BLANKET STITCH

The Blanket stitch is traditionally a hand sewn stitch used to

put bindings on blankets. This multi-purpose stitch can also

be used for attaching fringe, attaching edgings, couching,

applique and drawn thread hemstitching.

ENTREDEUX STITCH

Useful for decorative stitching on borders and for use in heirloom

sewing. The Entredeux stitch is most often sewn with a Wing

Needle (Singer Style 2040) to create holes in the stitch pattern.

HONEYCOMB STITCH

The Honeycomb stitch is ideal for smocking and useful

for overcasting and attaching elastic and stretch lace.

1. Make several rows of gathers across the fabric that you

wish to smock.

2. With a narrow strip of fabric directly under the line of

gathering, stitch over the gathers. The design will be a

series of small diamonds.

Helpful Hint: A slight + adjustment of the tension will

increase the size of the hole when using a Wing Needle.

Lightweight woven fabrics will provide best results.
