Decorate with contrasting threads
Right-handers
Start by sewing the motif with a running stitch. For the best effect, keep the running stitches small. Working from right to left, pull the thread up from behind at the start point and slip the needle over and under one of the running stitches. Continue to whip the thread over in this way until all the running stitches are covered.

To prevent piercing through either the thread or the fabric, use the eye of the needle to whip the thread over the running stitches.
Working the second thread with a contrasting thread colour creates a wonderful braided effect, which is just perfect for the jam jar lid string in this detail from the Shelf Bunting.
BLANKET STITCH
This is a great border or edging stitch.
Can be used to:
Appliqué fabric shapes onto a background fabric
Outline seed packet labels
Define the edge of self-covered buttons
Aim to keep the tops of the stitches level.
Right-handers
Work from left to right. Bring the needle up on the line of the motif or the edge of the appliqué. Take a stitch down from the line and bring the needle back where you started keeping the thread to the left.
Insert the needle to the right of the first stitch, down from the line or edge, and bring it back out on the line or edge, making sure the thread is behind the needle. Pull through.
Continue repeating to make a line of stitches.
