Jh^Stitch and Its Uses

Use this stitch to join two pieces of

fabric

to

create

an

open

work

appearance and add design interest.

Here's How

1.

Fold under each fabric edge 5/8"

and press.

2.

Pin the two edges to paper or

tear away backing 1/8" apart.

3.. Sew slowly, guiding the fabric

so the needle catches the folded

edge on each side.

Use as hemming stitch for blankets,

tablecloth and draperies.

Place the fabric top side up, and sew

3/8" from the edge.

Trim close to stitching. The stitch will

prevent raveling.
