i happen to love the blanket stitch

it looks great and it's versatile and even i can do it! (i don't sew...well. although i DO love the idea of sewing. i don't think i have the patience or something or other. i'll keep on trying though. i have seen some kick ass embroidery and i'd sure love to make a simple quilt)

anyway, here's a GRAND tutorial on how to DO THAT BLANKET STITCH
