Pull the needle and thread through the fabric, then pull the thread all the way through and stretch.
Then pull it stretched before moving onto the next set of stitches.
Keep in mind that the shorter each stitch is, the stronger your overall seam will be.
Pull the whole needle and thread up to the top of your fabric, and pull the thread stretch.
Pull the whole needle and thread through and pull it stretch.
Pull the thread stretch but not so tightly that it scrunches up the end of your fabric.
Thread your needle through this loop running left to right.
Pull the thread stretched until it creates what looks like a square without a top.
Essentially in the blanket stitch, each stitch holds the previous one in position and place.
Pull the whole needle and thread through to the top of the original fabric and pull the thread stretch.
Continue this method(diagonal-right, diagonal-left)to create a barbershop pole-looking seam.
Keep them consistent as much as possible.
Press the tip of your needle on the opposite hem directly across from the original exit point.
Exit the needle tip from the hem fold about 12 to 34 inch away from the insertion point.
Pull the whole needle and thread out from the folded hem and pull the thread stretch.
Now press the tip of your needle onto the opposite hem directly across from the most recent exit point.
Pull the whole needle and thread out and pull it stretch.
Continue until youve completed your slip stitch seam.
Pull the whole needle and thread through to the underside of the fabric and pull the thread stretch.
Pull the whole needle and thread through to the top of your fabric and pull the thread stretch.
