I recently decided to try something new: the Triangle Blanket Stitch. Let me tell you, it was a game-changer for my craft projects! This stitch takes the traditional blanket stitch and adds a fun, geometric flair, creating unique edges that really stand out. Or this gives an extra twist on the closed blanket stitch.
No matter where you try. This stitch will boost your work to a whole new level. Curious about how to do it? Let’s do a triangle blanket stitch.
First, you need to get your thread ready. I always recommend using a strong thread cotton thread and other blanket stitch tools.
But you can use any thread that holds well. I’m using size 8 pearl cotton thread because I like its thickness and it is strong enough.
I double-knotted the end of my thread to make sure it stays secure. This will make a Simple triangle blanket stitch.
Now that your thread is knotted and the fabric is ready, grab your 4 size needle. This size is perfect for triangle blanket stitch cause the size is comfortable to handle.
I even do blanket stitching with it.
Push the needle
through the fabric from the outside. And lock the thread.
Now insert the needle
through the line below, catching 2\3 fabric thread. Then pull the thread all the way down like this 👇
Now push the needle back in the upper line slightly lower than the 1st line. This will create the “side” of the triangle. This will create a perfect triangle blanket stitch edging. I love this love more than other blanket stitches.
Then, come back through the lower line from the inside. Make sure that your stitch forms a triangular shape each time.
Again, repeat this process and make another line. As you move along the edge, maintain steady tension in your thread.
This will prevent the fabric from puckering and ensure the stitches stay neat.
Tips: Don’t pull too tight; you want the triangles to stand out without distorting the fabric.
At this point,
you must have 3 45-degree lines. Like this. Got it?
Now push the needle through 1st long thread line and push it back to the lower line. The gap should be ½ inch. Pull it out, and that’ll be from your 1st triangle blanket stitch.
Now,
Continue to stitch along the fabric. Just make each stitch in the shape of a triangle. Take your time with this. The more steady you are, the cleaner and more consistent your triangles will be. As you continue stitching down the line, your triangles will start to form a beautiful geometric pattern that adds texture and dimension to your project.
Once you’ve reached the end,
Make sure to knot the thread securely. This will prevent the stitch from fraying over time. You can also reinforce the first few stitches if you want extra durability.
And that’s it! You have a beautiful blanket stitch triangle. But I know Triangle blanket stitch for beginners is hard. You can’t crack this in the 1st go. So watch this video tutorial. This will help you learn easily.
