About the Mirrored Blanket Stitch
This stitch is suitable for stitching the edges of blankets and fraying fabric. It is an excellent substitute for the traditional Blanket Stitch. If you want to create a variety without deviating much and have people guessing how you have stitched it, try out the Mirrored Blanket Stitch!
How to do the Mirrored Blanket Stitch
Learning the Blanket Stitch will be good to work this stitch easily. I will work between two parallel stitch lines.

 |
| Fig 1: Begin by making a blanket stitch between the stitch lines, as shown. | Fig 2: Now, take the needle in through the top stitch line and bring it out from the bottom one, as shown. This creates a small loop on top. |
 |
 |
| Fig 3: Then, take the needle in through the loop as shown. Do not pluck the fabric underneath. | Fig 4: Continue with this procedure for the entire length of the stitch line. |

| Fig 5: A finished portion looks like this. |

Sarah has been researching and sharing hand embroidery lessons for over 17 years, making it accessible to everyone around the globe.
Where can I see a demonstration of the up and down blanket stitch known as the mirrored blanket stitch. We have no local shops that teach hand embroidery (what a shame), I make flannel baby blankets for a local hospital neo-natal unit. They are a donation and a gift of love.
